We've just tested the brand new Sony A7R II compact system camera with the Sigma 24mm, 35mm and 50mm f/1.4 Art lenses. Here are 95 JPEG and 95 Raw images taken with a final production version of the Sony A7R II compact system camera with the Sigma 24mm, 35mm and 50mm f/1.4 Art lenses and the <a href="http://www.metabones.com/products/details/MB-EF-E-BT4">Metabones Canon EF Lens to Sony NEX Smart Adapter (Mark IV)</a>. Note that auto-focusing is only supported on the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens, and it's very fast indeed (certainly as fast on mounting the same lens on the Canon EOS 5DS R). Unfortunately, only manual-focus is currently supported on the Sigma 24mm and 50mm f/1.4 lenses, although the Sony A7R II's excellent viewfinder and focus-peaking makes it easy to accurately focus, if not as quick as auto-focusing.
