I bought a Canon 80D 3 years ago and Sony7Riii last year. The local camera store sold me a Fotodiox Pro EF-Sny(E) converter which allows me to adapt all my Canon lens to the Sony. Testing all my Canon lenses with the converter, the results are:

Canon EFS 55-250- Auto focus worked. Lost about 5% of the frame to corner vingnetting throughout the zoom range.

Canon EFS 10-18- Auto focus did not work. About the same vignetting.

Samyang 2.8/14mm prime lens with only manual focus - no vignetting

Tamron 150-600- Auto focus worked. No vingnetting throughout the zoom range.

Overall I can live with all these and frequently use the Tamron in particular.

Hope that helps.

The MC-11 adapter is by far the best solution for Canon glass with Sony cameras. the fotodiox really can't compare, sorry.

Plenty of videos on the internet about adapting canon lenses on Sony. Just remember not all adaptors are created equal. Personally I’d start with Metabones.

As a pro I have extensively used both Metabones and Sigma MC-11 with Canon glass on my Sony bodies. I and most reviewers agree the MC-11 works much better than the Metabones adapter and costs less also. Cheers

Have you used a ZEISS Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 ZE Lens
in a Canon mount on your current body?
Or your current lenses with an 50MP EOS 5DS? Or with
a low-pass filter cancelled EOS 5DSr?
Metabones Canon EF to Sony E-Mount Adapter will set
you back another $400 on top of a Sony body that is
not a game-changer vs Canon's two 50MP bodies nor
the 30MP 5DIV.


The OP indicates using a Sony a7-III, a rather pedestrian
camera. You then bring up some expensive 50MP Canon
stuff. Perhaps your eyes added an "R" to the Sony model
name ? IOW the camera bodies you mentioned would be
more like the a7R-III. Why not consider Canon's own "R"
body ? It would be of similar spec's to Sony's basic a7-III
and the adapter for EOS SLR lenses would be only $100.

Apples to apples, an all-Canon version of that borrowed
a7-III would save some sheckels and avoid a third party
adapter. The Sony does offer IBIS, but the OP doesn't
mention whether the L-lenses on hand have OIS ... or
whether IS a factor at all. Would be helpful to know.
