Sony A7r and Canon Lenses

Thinking about selling my 5dii body and switching to the Sony full frame mirror less body. How is the optical performance of the Canon glass (with adapter) on the Sony body?

Still got my Canon 5dm 2 and 3 but bought the a7r and using it with canon 24-70 with great image quality!

What adapter are you using for the lens to body? Which version lens is it? AF is not slow?

The link here belongs to my good friend, Steve Watson, in England. He is an extremely accomplished shooter and just recently did exactly what you've mentioned here.
Please take a good look at his work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bajanexile
He has recently posted some test shots using different adapters
with Canon lenses. He also uses Zeiss lenses a lot.
Steve is a fanatic when it comes to finding the best image quality that he can possibly produce. The descriptions he leaves on his images speak volumes...
Please let me know what you think. I am certain that this will clear up any doubt about owning the Sony Alpha 7R and keeping your Canon lens arsenal as well.

Metabones. Didn't seem slow. I'm really just starring with the camera . I need to get out with it but the weather has been so cold and there is so much snow cover!

Had no idea you could put Canon lenses on the Sony. How about Nikon lenses? Would make the switch to Ony that much easier.

With mirrorless cameras, you can use any lens with an adapter
