Testing the Sony a7R II on a Huge Canon 600mm Lens

Last week, we shared a video showing how the Sony a7R II has greatly improved autofocusing with Canon EF lenses using a Metabones adapter. Photographer Yannick Ciancanelli did some similar tests using a Fotodiox adapter and a wide range of Canon lenses, including the massive $11,499 Canon 600mm f/4.

Ciancanelli's findings weren't as positive as what other photographers are reporting.
