<p>Go full frame: swap your Nex7 for an A7 and to hell with Lens Turbos!</p>

<p>I've gone the same way and could not be happier: A7 and lots of dumb adapters for Canon FD, Contax C/Y, Olympus OM, Rollei QBM, Leica R. Planning to add some M42 in the future.<br> The IBIS of the new A7II is an interesting proposition and if I were to buy a camera today, I would go for that one instead of the A7... means there are probably lots of good opportunities on second-hand A7 bodies!<br> ;-)</p>

<p>The bower adaptor on the EOS SLR has a lens to correct the registration issue (FD is shorter than EOS). This adaptor (and all its ilk) is very bad in general, and absolutely unusable with fast lenses.<br> Try the same lens on a Sony A7 with a good adapter and there is no such problem. Not to say that every FD glass is perfect on digital, but some a real good. My 2/24 is superb, so are the 1.2/55 Asph and the 1.2/85L, the 80-200L is outstanding, etc.<br> Some feel better on digital, for example the 2.8/200IF looks better than on film, and some are less convincing, like my 2/28. Go figure!</p>

<p>I remember Chasseur d'Images tested the 80-200L and 100-300L, both were outstanding. The 80-200L was described as the first zoom that's better than all equivalent fix lenses! The 100-300L was not exactly at the same level, but still excellent.<br> I never really considered the 100-300L because of the aperture, but I got me a 80-200L as soon as I switched from Minolta to Canon!</p>
