@@sonycine Thanks for watching 😇.

Yeah, the new cameras seem to be a bit varied although I tried the a74 and that worked great plus I'm sure I've seen the A6700 used in the comments but it might mean downgraded firmware or upgrading.

@@lovelilac930 🤣🤣🤣

@@kreygscott Thanks!

Thanks! I can’t share the much of the footage yet but did have a couple walking shots etc to have some fun with. Hopefully there will be a part two at some point.

@@minutesback yeah I get it. Tbh just looking at what you did really shows how good it can look in a pro setting with a little lighting. Seriously bro, that intro was so amazing.

He's massively underrated.

@@kingsamvisuals thanks for the kind words 👍

@@StuporStudio scroll through the comments on this or my other video as I’m sure I’ve seen people talk about that camera.

Yes when I use it defo has a lovely look which I can’t define. Obviously the AF is a louder and not as fast busy for sheer cost difference and looks it’s a steal at the price.

Wow that’s a massively annoying experience for sure. If I had that experience I’d probably jump ship from a brand for ever. If you go through the comments here you’ll see that many people have pretty decent experience. Yours is the worst I’ve seen so it’s so good you reported it. I can only think it is a quality control issue with the brand or sheer probability of getting 2 dud adapters. Maybe ask any of the users in this video or my other in the comments as people generally have been pretty good as answering questions. Thanks again for highlighting and I’m defo sorry you had this dead end experience. Did you manage to get autofocus with your new adapter?

You might want to check if it is full frame or APS-C which is a smaller mount and if you put a APS-C on a full frame it won't give full coverage however you can still set the camera to APS-C to get it to cover which on the a74 would still look great. Is this what you meant?

Thanks!

Which camera are you using it with?

@@minutesback Sony fx30, and it's been updated to current firmware still won't work

@@paperstacksfilms I’ve heard a lot of good things with that adapter and the FX30. Is it that you mean the adapter is updated or the camera is updated? I personally have kept the firmware of the adapter as I bought it.

@@minutesback I updated the adapter after it was having the issue with the lens. Even with the updated firmware tho it doesn't fix the issue. I've heard good things too but it won't play well this lens and the lens isn't bad cause it works on my canon 90d perfectly, and my canon 18-55 kit lens works on the adapter fine. So it seems to just not play well with my fx30 and the 7artisans adapter

@@paperstacksfilms yeah sorry to hear that, sounds like it’s specific to how that lens works with the adapter. I’ve used tamron 24-70 which works get but I once tested a tamron 100-300 which didn’t work so well for, well at least it worked for about 2 mins and then stopped. Btw, I have a canon 100-300 L 5.6 which on works with a strange kink to it. I put the lens on the adapter, switch the camera on, the lens wont work… but if I then on lock the lens hold and twist if I’m removing but don’t remove but then twist back to lock, it then works fine there after. It’s the only lens that does that, not sure if that will help but thought I’d mention. It’s less than perfect but means I don’t immediately need to buy a 100-300mm.

I have been enjoying the new version but it’s a shame they have had poor support. Also recently they used an image of mine for a commercial campaign without asking and didn’t pay or credit me.

I’d love to be able to help but not used either of those items. If i ever I’ll come back to inform you. Are you look for photography purposes or video?

@@minutesback for photography purposes.

Pretty much whenever I shoot. I have some Sony glass also which I use but whenever I use the A7s3 I always at some point use it.

That’s a good question. The oldest lens I’ve tried is from the 90s I think which works but AF is a little slower. If it is a EF then it could work but if it’s another mount adapted then probably not. Maybe if anyone here has used, they may chime in. Or if you try in future let us know.

@@minutesback Thanks for your reply , i have the 35mm-135 ef lens which gave excellent pictures on the canon eos 620 and if it does work then no need to buy an expensive sony fe zoom lens.

@@patrickhin4301 I’d love to know if you manage to test or buy and use, please return and let us know 👍

@@minutesback For sure

Contacted 7 artisans and told lens has not been tested so don't buy!

I tried various combinations and it was the same I only took photo of what was on at a particular time. I assume you mean step up rings and not filters I didn’t use filters. I only used some diopters and tested with and without. In the end I got them to make me a custom one which is perfect and I really love it. I think Sirui have an early production problem as I’ve had 2 duds from them, both which they have corrected but their marketing team is awful now.

@@minutesback ah yes, step up rings! Appreciate the review, it's proper💪🏾

That’s I appreciate the comment 🎉

Thanks 🎉

Good question I don’t it is removable as I generally need to mount on the adapter if on a gimbal but in my cage I don’t think it interferes.

I’ve used native glass but I’d say it more depends on whether the lenses itself is good with AF or sometimes of the adapter works with it. With the 35mm 1.8 and and a 18 2.8 samyang which are native I would say you probably get an extra 10-15 percent from it in fast situations but for a single subject moving or interview it’s perfect professionally usable. The old vintage lenses I have are slower than say my 50 or 85 which are very fast.

I’ve used with 80-200 L and 100-300L 5.6 which are pretty old. Do they qualify?

It works with a classic 50mm and 400 5.6 from 1993

Yeah that crop is a shame but I think if and when they release the s1H mkII they will resolve that however the price point may go up. Still I often find myself thinking about this camera in situations where my Sony taps out.

I'll be sure to turn up next time 🤣. Seriously though this is a free video but thanks for commenting.

Either 1.8 or 2 I believe. With the adapter I sometimes go up to 2.8 but depends on the lens I use.

The R6 was released the same time as R5 and found the multiple things to still be the same. Are you saying that isn’t the case with your R5?

@@minutesback yep exactly, I’ve tested a few times with different lenses, the last one the day before posting here. Comparing múltiples with non-múltiples above and below

I do wonder if the quality control is an issue with 7 artisans as I’ve never had an issue with iris or AF but have with IS. I think I’ve mentioned in video some of the issues but like yourself I’m still glad for the overall EF usage. I recently used in on a commercial project and it worked great although I did also use some native Sony EF glass also. Thanks so much for sharing your review, I’m sure you’ve helped out a few people for sure!👌

Are those all Canon brand?

@@AE-cu5zy yes

How can the 7Artisan produce soft pics, and CA when there no glass in it? Which AF are you using on the adapter Contrast or Phase detect AF? The AF has nothing to do with adapter, it the speed of the AF on the lens being used.

Check the manual, you need to change to phase autofocus. WITHOUT the lens attached and with the camera on, attach the lens WHILE pressing the small button at the adapter. Lens will move and the camera will appear at phase autofocus. The change is amazing. I was furious with the adapter at first until I understood. And yes, CA is not the fault of the adapter.

@@ConcealedWeapon Spot on, It took me quite awhile to work out how to sort it out. Although my Sony A600 sensor has both PDAF and CDAF. It is a CDAF. When I tried the PD it wouldn't work. As you will have found out, The adapter default is set at CDAF. All you have to do to reset, is turn the camera on with the adapter and lens attached. I use it mainly with the brill, and very sharp Cannon 55-250 IS STM lens. Works perfect, but at 250m I do sometimes have to help the AF using the manual focus ring poor contrast light But once locked in at that distance, the AF snaps in instantly

I’ve not used the mc11 but from I understand it doesn’t give you constant autofocus in video.

@@minutesback Thx for your answer 😃

By filter do you mean adapter? Yes the adapter can be used in full frame. I bought a 35mm full frame and added it on, I have some examples in the previous video I did on my channel about the adapter.

What do you mean? It does not crop? Have you tried it?

Thi one doesn't crop, just adapts and that's it

I good question, I don't I can understand why this adapter works with the camera to provide eye autofocus that works and others don't but within video I've never heard or seen another adapter actually give better autofocus with EF glass on E. Obviously you need a camera that does eye autofocus so if you have a old camera that doesn't have it, it won't add it.

What happens is that as many brands, Sony reserves some function to work with their own lenses, so the adapters need to trick the camera and not all can.

I might worries that it would chip away or fall onto the sensor over time. Would that happen?

@@minutesback I doubt it. Clean it with alcohol first, spray it lightly with flat black paint after taping the other parts off and you're good. Check it every year or so perhaps.

Thanks for the update and the issue you’ve noted 👍

I found some more weird behaviour on the IS. This time in M-mode. IS is supposed to start when you half press the shutter button or pressed the back button focus button. . But it does not. Instead it starts AFTER you have pressed the shutter button, and keeps "rolling". Sp to make IS work you have to first take a picture, and then keep pressing the back button focus button, while taking pictures, This will keep the IS rolling. To make it stop, refocus by letting go of the Back focus button and press it again.... Well, at least that is a somewhat doable work around, if quirky....

Took the lesn on an off, and now IS suddenly works flawlessly, as intended by canon. I .e kicks in on half press of shutter, or back button focus. ???

@@PhotographyByRune tbh I’m a video only when I’m on my Sony. I mainly use the AF side of the adapter as I only have 1 IS lens which works OK but I have read varying degrees of use from comments on IS. They defo could improve firmware for IS although I think I mentioned in my second review that just have the AF is a big win for EF glass usage. But here’s hoping they solve the Is.

@@minutesback lets hope they do. I plan to aquire an EF 24-105mm f4 IS, that is a lens that will be my walkaround lens, so much more hand held phtography. So IS is going to be needed. But now I am more in doubt. I do own a Sony 24-70 F4 Zeiss, but not impressed by the sharpness. But cant afford sony glass, and with EF lenses beeing flogged off cheap by all the photographers switching to RF lenses is good opportunity to aquire some pro lenses' And this adapter makes that viable

Thanks so much for letting people know I’m sure someone will be helped by the fact you took the time to let us know 👍

Which camera are you using. Btw thanks for helping people by posting the lens and the usage.

I have a Sony a6400. I was playing with it for only 10 minutes but I'm happy so far.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🎉

This isn’t a list from 7 Artisans that I’ve see. Although would be very interested to see. Several people have added lenses that work with their camera bodies and or issues with lenses across both of my videos if you search the comments. I do wish 7Artisans would create a list 😇

I have but I have tried. 100-300 EF. Something worth noting if you try is that it had a little weirdness about using it. On first connection it doesn’t work but then when you rotate the connection to remove but don’t and the reconnect it then worked fine. Only lenses that did that. Just a note for you or anyone who tries.

I would recommend the MacBook m3 or M1 second hand for example but if you’re just editing the pc laptops I’m sure will also do the trick. Because I do After Effects work and 3D I need a high end machine either pc or mac. Software wise unless I had to use premiere pro I wouldn’t want to as the price is just too much. Resolve is way better.

I’ve found it secure, not had any issues. I’ve added up to a 70-200 which heavy although I normally hold it support the lens.

@@minutesback Thank you!

Which laptop or system do you use or thinking about? Thanks for watching 🎉

Sorry, probably best the watch rather hear me anyways on this one 😇. But will mix voice and bit higher 👍 on next one.

Thanks for watching and the dropping the kind comment 👍

Wow thank you for such kind feedback.
