If you have an EF(-S) lens, that you really treasure, and Canon/Sigma/Tamron has a few, that may be candidates, depending on your use cases, they may be welcome candidates for inclusion in some video projects (not run-and-gun) or other scenarios, where focus speed and fast focus adjustment is not essential. C7 Adapters sells a frightfully expensive one for professional work (it has a breech-lock tightening mechanism), but you will also find cheap no-name ones available at the usual internet suppliers of dodgy goods. Other features: Fast and accurate high precision AF photography in AF-S mode, equipped with a detachable tripod socket and incorporating an LED indicator to show lens compatibility. the Cine Edition adapters from Fotodiox were built to mimic the breech-lock cine style cameras that those lenses are designed for.

I don’t know what the hiccup is there, but the warnings suggest you may cause permanent damage to your Leica gear. I have several S-Pro Lumix lenses, and they do unlock several features on the bodies like electronic first curtain shutter and 1/320th flash sync, and have optimized breathing and other features that really benefit video, but for photo you will be in awe of the images from the 40mm on the S1R.In-depth testing Latest Camera Reviews Beyond the studio tests Feature Articles and Videos see how we see Sample Galleries real world performance Field Test Videos Throwback Thursday Classic Cameras from Days Past What's that Noise? Overall my opinion is the S1R is the best bridge camera from Canon DSLR, and paired with the EM1X you have everything when adapting EF mount lenses. I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that the focus speed on your native Canon bodies will be much fasterr than when adapted to the S1R body.

I also tested my Samyang AF 14mm EF mount lens - this focuses fine on the Lumix through the Sigma adaptor.

One thing that is not talked about much is how good the video from the S1R is, and if you choose the MC-21 adapter, you will find there are a great set of neutral density filters for it from Aurora Aperture which greatly helps in bright conditions and for strobe work with lenses like the 40mm but especially when you get to the 14mm and 20mm Art lenses and other large-element lenses like the 11-24mm. With non stabilised lenses ef 135 f/2 - 100mm Macro (Tokina) you have the option to turn on Camera Stabilisation.My last Canon body was the 1DX II and the 1DS III before that so the S1R is a massive upgrade with very similar handling to the Canon, however I haven't owned I 5 series since the 5D II was replaced so you may have a different experience. I will say that the logo/artwork printed on the side of the adaptor itself is pretty awful and nearly stopped me from making the purchase at all. If you use a lens with electronic aperture and no manual control ring, because this lens mount adapter is fully manual, your aperture would remain at its maximum aperture (lowest f-stop).
