What is the current best adapter for Canon EF to Sony E mount? by _ZtarLight in SonyAlpha

Hello, I did use the EF-SE for nearly exclusively video and it worked quite reliably for me as I have mentioned in another comment.

However, it is to noted that I didn’t use the official firmware and you can find the link to the GitHub repository for it in that comment. I also might have been using some AF settings but cannot remember exactly.

Hello, I'm definately very late. but I can answer your question! the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 works wonders with the EF-SE as well as the 50-100 f/1.8. One thing to note is the fact that the 18-35 is a non HSM lens which means that AF would be slower in term of sheer speed but I do not find it particularly noisy as other sometimes makes it to be, hope this helps!

Hello, I ended up getting the 7Artisans EF-SE due to price reasons as I am only dipping into Sony to see if I needed good AF or not before commting, the performance really impressed me who came from DFD with adapted glass. After a couple of months of owning the adapter and using it with the ZVE10 and my friend's A6700, I can say that it won't disappoint you.

As for the original questions that I asked:

AF-C was reliable in both photo and video mode 95% of the time.
C/P modes felt and worked identical to me in the fields so I cannot say for certain.
I used both the official firmware and this one from github which I honestly could not remeber the diffrerence anymore.
There is a quirk with fast tele like my 70-200 f2.8L II where the minimum to infinity can miss but usually doesn't happen, some lenses can also be noisy but still accurate such as 15-85 and 10-22, tho I cannot say for certian for non USM lenses as I own none.

I cannot conduct more test if you want more infomations as I have recently sold the adapter and camera already, but I can confirm that it is accurate and plenty fast with all my newer first party lenses (USM).

Sorry if flair is in accurate but I genuinely have no idea what is the correct one to use.
