I’ve been using the metabones adapter to EF and put my canon lenses on there. I have been shooting on this for about 2 months now.

i’ve gained confidence in this setup. At first the adapter plus the lens seemed heavy–too much for the camera to handle (Tamron especially). But i’ve been flinging this stuff around quite a bit, and i feel better about it.

one troublesome issue is that sometimes the camera won’t give me control of the iris through the metabone, but i found manually resetting the adapter or the lens itself does the trick.

I made this choice because i was not impressed with the E-mount lenses at this time. I would recommend doing the same.

was cutting a concert i shot nearly a year ago on a 5D MarkIII, and found a line of 6 frozen frames. Was not in between files as i thought it might be. It was a rental camera, so i have no previous or posterous experience with this issue.

i can’t remember if i shot this in all-i or not, which might help. Anyway, will keep digging to see what i find

i guess nothing to be done now, but yeah, i experienced it.

SONYA7s (if you get one that works) knocks the balls off those cameras.

This is most likely a phase issue. I just worked through this same problem tonight, thanks to Brian Collins, who said this:

“I have a client who did a short video on their own and ended up doing the same thing. The clip sounded fine on his computer but almost no sound when posted online. The reason it sounds fine on your PC is that you are listening on a stereo setup. Two discreet audio feeds are being sent to separate speakers. At the showing, the PA setup was mono. They summed the two audio channels into on signal path and the two channels canceled each other out.
Think of it this way… an audio signal is a wave. If both channels are phased correctly, the two channels will simply be added together with no decernable effect. If the two are out of sync, the equal but opposite signals will cancel each other out. 1-1=0. Capiche? The problem is figuring out where one of the signals got reversed. It could have been done when you edited the program. It could have been a impropperly wired cable at your client’s presentation or the audio guy could have reversed the phase on one channel on the pa system….”

I had all audio recorded on one day out of phase with itself. so these particular audio clips would not play back in my video, but many others would and of course the soundstrack and effects. What i did, in Premiere CS6, was take my stereo out-of-phase-with-itself audio tracks and panned them hard left, soloed the tracks, exported a mono aac (audio only), re-imported that into premiere and just settled for the mono voice-over.

hope this helps.
