Tai Po Kau, 28 January 2018 at 12:54 hour,
Sony A6500 + 100-400 GM OSS @ 400mm F5.6 and 1/200 sec. set Manually,
Auto ISO @1600(Exposure Compensation +1.7 EV)
The photo was erratically exposed at +1.7EV compensation. It was heavily post processed by PS
FYI...I picked up the Metabones 5 and the A7RIII. Tested this with the Canon 600mm f/4 II with and without the Canon 1.4x TC in single-shot focus, the autofocus is too slow for my taste. If you are already close to the focus point, it's not too bad, but when the focus has to travel far, it takes forever to find focus. Once it does focus, the image quality is wonderful, but getting there is the battle.
Attempting to achieve focus in continuous focus is a lesson in futility.
If I had a bird perched in a tree...yup you can do that.
Exactly, this is what I had experienced with the Metabones 5. Subjected to what birds you are going to shot. The A6500+856 could still a very good choice. I am not sure whether I should sell my 7D2. It is really a mess. Especially for AF accuracy. 1DX II could be better, but giving the price tag, an A6500 + adapter is worth of it.作者: passerby-b 時間: 2018-2-5 22:02

after yesterday's test for the combination of sony cameras on Canon 856 in Tai Po Kau under the exactly same condition as last week, I ruled out the possibility of using the Sony cameras as the main camera with the Metabone 5 in the future of birding in forest environment. It was simply useless. The combination just could not focus a single shoot at a bird.
I got my MC-11 upgraded to the latest firmware today and may try it out this weekend .
Nevertheless, I took the 7D2 to Canon for a full health check and it may return to me after the lunar new year 作者: hooooon 時間: 2018-2-7 17:22
This photo show how versatile the system could be. A6500 + 100400 GM OSS to take macro butterfly photos.
