Ed. You are correct. The one I have is the previous version of it. As far as I understand the adapter has the same functionality. The version V versus the IV are 1) the new one has a light to indicate which mode is being used 2) it has a weather seal and I believe there might be a third one that I cannot remember what it is. Aside from those it doesn’t work any better nor the is any improvements as to how the lens and camera interact with one another.

Just a quick follow up on the whole metabones mark IV and Canon ef-s 10-22mm deal. The Canon ef-s 10-22 and the metabones mark IV do work well together with the Sony A6500 without any modifications to the lens. I have tried the metabones IV adapter in green mode and advance mode. The advance mode offers just about most focusing options the camera has to offer but interestingly it focus hunt to no avail and at the end it stop trying without locking onto anything at all (useless). On green mode, one can only choose single focus or continuous and it works great, it's fast and no hesitation. I found that to be true with all the lenses I've tried. Just as an fyi. I have compared the metabones mark IV against the Sigma MC-11 I already have and without making much of scientific job I could not feel any difference in terms of focusing speed or different available options unlocked on the camera. The feel of the actual converter is good on both, the sigma MC-11 being smoother. The lenses mounts like butter on the sigma MC-11 and on the metabones mark IV it's a bit more of a rougher fit when turning the lens in place (not a big deal) now, the connection from the adapter to the actual camera body itself it is a complete different story, the Sigma MC-11 is super smooth, were the Metabones mark IV it's a lot tighter than I like. When I first aligned the adaptor into the camera body and try to turn it in place it was so tight I thought something wasn't right, a firm grip it's required to lock it in place and remove it as well. I was kind of surprised how tight it is, not that one has to fight it and once you know how it is you just deal with it, but quite a contrast compared to the Sigma MC-11. In any case, I am content with the metabones adapter since the $147 that I paid on e-bay for it kept me from having to buy a new lens and although the Canon ef-s 10-22mm for today standards is not top notch it is still a capable lens for what I need. Thanks to all for your earlier responses.

Colin.You are on the right path but not quite correct. I own a canon 7D Mark II AND A 5D Mark III (full frame and crop) and I can use all the lenses I mentioned above on either body quite alright with the exception of the canon Ef-s 10-22 on the full frame, since the mount it a bit longer (it protrudes further) thus rendering the lens unusable on the full frame canon camera and although the 10-22 is the only Ef-s lens I own it think they all have the same physical limitations (unless of course one modifies the lens by chopping that protrusion off) The sigma mc11 does come with the sigma or canon ef mount, but it will not accept an Ef-s without modification. The metabones for canon to Sony will physically accept both ef and ef-s lenses due to the larger internal diameter compared to that of the sigma mc11. Now whether or not the electronics are compatible with all lenses, that is a different story. Some lenses might fit but not operate as expected or at all I would think. I just got a metabones mark IV on eBay and it should be with me this coming Friday. I’ll see then if my canon Ef-s 10-22 lens works with the metabones mark IV adapter or plan B is to find a zoom in that range that works. I’ll report once I get it.

Thank you all for your kind replies. So far o believe I will try buying a used metabones mark IV. Seems like for around $200 they can be found and that it’s likely to adapt to some wide zooms. When I get it I’ll report my findings. So far the sigma mc11 seems decent with the ef 100mm f2.8 macro mark1, ef 85 f1.8, ef 50 f1.4, ef 24/70 f2.8L mark I, ef 70-200 f2.8 is markI Since I’m not yet familiar with the camera I’m not 100% sure what feature might not be operating but for the quick test I did they all seem to focus well. The Ef-s mount is physically impossible to fit on the sigma mc11 unless the lens is modified. Meta bones will accept ef-s

Colin and Joe, thank you for taking the time to reply. I went to the site you referenced and seems quite resourceful but it seem to mainly deal with Sony lenses. I just can’t seem to find what alternatives are out there for a while zoom that will not set me back $800. I’d love to use my Efs 10-22 mm since I already have it. I wonder if there is an adapter that would Take the efs mount of that lens and allow me to use it on the A6500 maintaining autofocus and other functions.

After close to 30 yrs of shooting exclusively with Canon I cheated and added a Sony A6500 to my bag. I purchased the camera with a Sigma Mc11 adapter ( don’t have a cable for it, I can’t update the software and I can’t seem to find what cable I need for it) and the camera came with the Sony 18-105mm f4. I own a Canon Ef-s10-22 for my crop sensor but It doesn’t fit the Sony and i truly like that focal range. Short of buying the Sony 10-18mm for $850 what other zoom alternatives are out there with auto focus within that focal range that cost less than that? One last thing. Can you anyone recommend A small capable flash to mount on the hot shoe as bounce/fill flash? My 580’s exII speedlites are only functional on manual mode and are kind of too big anyway. Thanks for any info and pointers. I’m quite lost with this new toy.

<p>Thank you all for your feedback. Here it is what helped me resolve this problem. <br /> This is a link to Adobe Lightroom forum<br /> https://forums.adobe.com/message/8395448#8395448<br /> and here it is a screenshot that shows how you like the images on the files to be sorted.</p>

<p>I recently noticed that when I import images to Lightroom CC some images are not in the order it took them. I have been doing dome action shots with a 7D MrkII. Since this camera can take lots of frames per second it seems like lightroom has no regards as to which order the images that were taken within that second and they get mixed up. The images seem in general to follow the time line. For normal every day shooting I would not even notice it. The issue seems to be when many pictures are marked withinthe same time and seconds. <br> Could it be that I had changed some sort of setting by mistake? <br> If anyone can help me with this I will certainly appreciate it. It is quite annoying to see the sequence out of sequence.<br> Thanks</p>

<p>Thanks Ruben. I think the problem comes when importing to lightroom CC. I put the card back in the camera and the images are in the correct order, (good thing).<br> When importing the images to Lightroom CC, on the File renaming column (on the right) I checked the rename file box. Then on the drop down option template, I choose custom name sequence, the next drop down option called custom text is left blank,and then on extensions, selected leave as-is.<br> I wanted Lightroom to name the images from 1 to whatever is the last image number is.<br> Now I need to figure if that is the problem or the fact that this camera shoots so fast that images taken within the same second are just mixed in when importing.<br> Thanks for any input.</p>

<p>I recently replaced my 7D with a 7D MrkII. First time I tried shutting at 10FPS on actual moving subjects was at my daughters softball game. When I downloaded the images to Lightroom and started going through them I noticed some of the swings and sequences did not seem in the correct order. Often enough one or two images on a sequence seem swapped. <br> Today I went to a go cart event and again noticed the same thing. The images on a sequence seem mixed. I can see the image of a cart going forward then the cart on the following image is further back and then it continues with the sequence.<br> I can't think of why this is.<br> Any ideas?<br> Regards,<br> Alex</p>
