I am using Olympus EPL6 and wnat to purchase Metabone EF to M43 adapter with AF to join the old EF400mm f5.6L.

Does any one have this experience and is the AF speed is good for this combination? Does it support CAF?

I've used my GH4 extensively with the 400/5.6. The AF-S is quite good - definitely faster than my adapted 4/3 PanaLeica 14-150, which is contrast-AF enabled.

The biggest problems with the GH4/400 are lack of OIS, negating hand-holding as is possible with the Canon 100-400 (tho the EPL6 probably compensates this well), and difficulty finding the birdie at 800mm EFL The IQ is very good, but the 100-400 IS v.1 I used was superior at 400mm - and zoomed out, no problem finding the subject.
