Woodstork W/ Sony A3000 - Canon 70-200 f4 L: I received my new Viltrox Sony E-mount to Canon EOS adapter and this is a test shot I did. Focus is very SLOW

imagemeister Loc: mid east Florida

I received my new Viltrox Sony E-mount to Canon EOS adapter and this is a test shot I did. Focus is very SLOW - maybe one step up from manually focusing - but it does control the diaphram and report EXIF data. - and I do have focus peaking for manual focus - which is OK.

ISO 400, Canon 70-200 f4 W/Tamron SP 1.4X ( effective 280mm) - f8 from bodypod. My standard PP as JPEG in Elements 9.

Yeah, this photo is pure crap. With a teleconverter yet. Lol. Seriously, it looks real good! How much is was the Viltrox adapter, if I may ask? I know the Sony goes for around $350.00.

Those a6000's are something else, aren't they? I am actually thinking of one. I do have a lot of full frame A mount lenses. I too will need an adapter.

Thanks tainkc ! The Viltrox was $105 - there are better?/more expensive ones. I would have an A6000 if I could afford it ! ......but the 3000 is almost as good @ 1/2 price.

Wow! I messed up. I must be tired. I thought your title said a6000. That is even better that you did this with an a3000! I really went over your photo. I supersized the download and checked the bird out all over. I was really amazed that it was so clear considering that you were using a teleconverter.

Very nice shot of an immature Wood Stork, imagemeister, like the detail, very well done

Very very nice shot! Great detail and color in the download. Nice of him to wait while you focused. Must be a bit of a hassle to wait but the result is great!
