Thanks for responding Clyde. My Sony lens doesn't do this so I'm led to believe that it's the adapter and not the camera mount, if I understand your suggestion correctly. Maybe I'll give contact ...

I just discovered that the washout happens with Advanced Mode, not Green Mode, and that the aperture doesn't open when the adapter's button is pressed (though other functions appear to be working).

I'm picking up on this thread as I've been having trouble with the Metabones IV adapter for the past month. While it recognizes the lenses (Canon 100mm, 40mm, 20mm - all's fine with my one Sony ...

Funny you mention the MC-11 ... I'm now looking into it as alternative to the Metabones. Have you been able to compare them?

Thanks for your thoughts, Tom. Just to be clear, the focus hunting that I'm referring to happens when attempting to use continuous focus (AF-C), not for general auto focus. The finder/screen don't ...

Hi all, I've recently encountered a problem with my Sony a7rii and Metabones IV setup that I haven't been able to resolve, and unfortunately I'm not getting any response from Metabones, yet. Within ...

I went from a 5DMKii to the Sony a7rii because my gear needed an update, and I figured I could continue with my EF lenses while making the lens transition. I bought a Metabones IV and have been ...

Agreed, there appears to be a communication problem with the Metabones, but I've been using this setup for a year and this development happened in the past week or so. The only problem I've had ...

New note: The washout is more prominent when the aperture is small (f-8, 11, 16 ...) than when the lens is near wide open, probably explaining the low light, bright light differences.

Uh oh, I spoke too soon. This morning the the washout is back. I've turned Live View on and off and the problem remains in either mode. Scratching for solutions I put a freshly charged  battery in ...

Great suggestion, techjedi! I followed your suggestion, turning Live View off, and the washout went away. Just to double check I turned it back on and ... still no washout. I don't know why that ...

An update: I reloaded the Metabones IV firmware to see if that would help but I'm still getting the same washout. Oddly, it happens after focus has been achieved. It seems as if the diaphragm ...

Yes, I thought about and I think it is, but it does this in manual focus too. Also, I think it just happening the other day, maybe when I was out in cold temps ( just trying to think of possible ...

Hi all, I've just noticed an irritating bug(?). I'm shooting with a Metabones IV (with recently updated firmware) and when pressing the shutter release button the viewfinder/screen washes out prior ...

I wish I could get my hands on a PK cartridge just to run a test and see if the head/ballast is the culprit. If I just knew someone nearby with a 3800/3880 who would lend me their PK cart for test ...

Hi all, My 3800 isn't printing photo black at the moment. I've been printing a lot with MK and when I switched over to PK I noticed the spotty black. I regret to say that I've been here a few times ...

Sorry to hear of your misfortune ... best of luck in getting it back.

Yes, I'm seeing that report repeatedly unfortunately. My goal would be, obviously, to get  a good copy. I wish I'd saved it but just the other day I saw a test comparing an adapted lens to a ...

Good information. I must be wrong, but doesn't this open the possibility for light leaking around the mount? I haven't taken a mount apart ... maybe there's a flange that prevents this? Maybe the ...

I've been thinking about buying a Rokinon 14mm to explore with. I already have a Metabones IV adapter so I could buy the lens with either the Canon mnt (and presumably one with the AE chip) or the ...
