Morning All,
Has anyone used the Metabones adapters. Wondering how it affects general ease of use and things like speed of focussing? Saw one at the Birdfair on the Panasonic stand. It was connecting a GH4 to a Canon 500mm. I was surprised to be told that it enabled all autofocus as well as metering functions (at least I think that was what I was told, my head was crammed full of info about new bins, scopes, birding destinations etc. that it was close to going bang!). Also puzzled why I had not seen anything about it on the Forum, surely sticking a canon 500mm or similar on a GH4 (as was on the stand) would give 1000mm lens without the need for a T-Con and subsequent loss of light, admittedly with a slightly smaller sensor. The owner of the combination was extremely effusive about its capabilities although as a Panasonic representative (although think he actually worked for Jessops) I expect he would be....
