OOPS,
bad spelling check on that address should be
HORIZONTRUE.COM
Take a look at this site
I met them at Chicago BOat show in January and the stuff is very well made
HORZONTRUE.COM
Have Canon DSLR and glass,
with Nex-7, Metabones adapters I can use 80% of my glass on the NEX-7 and if I use the Metabones speed adapter I'm shooting a 24.6 meg pixel full frame size with a faster F stop than the lens was made.
I love the NEX-7
I"m full time working for a Catalogue Company, that sells Stationery, Wedding Invitations, and other bits. The catalogue side has fallen off of course over the last few years, but the web site photography goes on.
It's also fun as I have to be creative for things like the Covers of the different catalogues, making the product look good, which can be difficult, giving the stuff a feeling of atmosphere round it like a home, office, young ladies bedroom or whatever.
Other than that I am getting back in to sailing photography whic I used to do in the Caribbean (St.Lucia) but these days I'm up on Lake Michigan...........not quite the same as 82 degree waters in the caribbean.........
Yours Aye

Did you ever get an adapter from meta ones, also have you looked at there newest adapter the speed booster?
Reviews were not good as the other replies indicate.
Take a look at the metabones website for a standard adapter for Sony Nex
Cameras,
they have a converter (well made) for your canon lenses and the Sony Nex 7, is a 24 meg camera. They also have a new converter under very heavy review and being well anticipated called the speed booster..
Take a look under the dpreview.com news items, a lot of discussion there
I Just bought a used Nex 5N, the booster adapter and I'm looking forward to putting my Canon lenses onto a smaller body with some anticipated interesting results.
Yes $600 bucks and the cost of a mirrorless camera to go with it to start out with but then it becomes more intersting with what it can turn your lenses into............for example as stated in their white paper .....
By contrast, the Speed Booster can be combined with a tiny inexpensive 50mm f/1.8 lens to produce a very compact and high performance 35mm f/1.2.
I was about to go and purchase the new Sigma 35mm f1.4 which has such great reviews but I already own the 50mm 1.8 Canon, and iI can put the $900 bucks for the Sigma towards the new camera and the converter..........converter for CAnon is $550 and you can get the Sone NEX5n for $460 so it will cost me very little over the top of the cost for the Sigma.
Stepping into unknown territory of course, but we all enjoy that on occasions. I do wonder how long it will take Canon/Nikkon to produce their own converters as well for their equipment.

Prophoto is great but you will need photoshop to be able to convert your images to it, also ir you are using commercial publishing like catalogue printing you will need to process in CMYK
unless you are using RAW, choose SRGB, your JPG's will be compatible to your computer display and simple printing.
If your shooting RAW go with RGB color spec is bigger and will suit the TIF's your probably producing, if your are just converting RAW into JPG's then you may as well stay with SRGB.
The advantage of RAW and thenconverting to TIF's (specially if you are develping them as 16bit in your software) is the size of the files increases dramatically and you have a lot more to be able to crop from and do other corrections and changes to your pictures, using photoshop will also allow you even wider color gamuts to use for further development and high quality color printing or processing.
I strongly suggest you look at Scott Kelby stuff, his books and online. This whole subject has volumes written about it
Resave it as an .EPS file, this reduces a .TIF or PS file down in size big time, but keeps the history and everything available to resave as a PS file.
You will need Photoshop or similar at the other end to open it.
hi, I just dumped the Canon 24-70, replaced with the Tamron 17-50 and the 28-75, no stabilization.
The Tamron 28-70 was about on par with the Canon when taking a shot at f2.8, but it blew the Canon away as I stopped down to 4.5
For me the decision was easy, the trade of of slightly noisier or a midges slower focusing was not a problem, as I do most of my photography in a studio on heavy tripods.
Shooting wedding invitations, stationery and other products of a similar nature.
It is necessary to have good colour and sharp pictures.
The lens you are looking at sounds very interesting and I would expect it to be even better than the lenses I am using
But I will put money on 1 looking even better than it is now, see for yourself.
Kind regards Chris
