Choose a mirrorless body to adapt your EF/S lenses to

Just curious if you were to adapt your EF/S glass to a mirrorless body, which one would you get and why?

I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

I think this is the wrong section, but the Sony A7R and S have been impressing the hell out of me. Neither one would take the place of my 5D for stills or dual-duty, but the S seems to be a great option for video.

It's funny a lot from the DSLR camp agree with you, but a lot from the mirror less camp that I've talked to aren't impressed.

definitely a7r. It has its quirks and its not for everyone but everything ive read from users on this forum all seem to agree that the pic quality is outstanding. I just recently picked up a 6d in spite of wanting the a7r but the cost difference was just too much for me at this time.

A7r or since i have the fuji x100s im very tempted to get an xt-1 or so..

New EOS-M, if we ever get it stateside.

For those suggesting the a7r, is it bc of the high MP count? The a7 looks like a more solid choice considering price and the AF system.

Isn't the EOS-M2 just a EOS-M1 with wifi and updated sensor? The lack of evf is a bummer for me.

Dunno. Have not heard anything except rumors.

It's apparently been announced.

Mostly because mpx. But having no anti alias filter and a slightly better ISO performance according to dxo its well worth to me, IF.

I mean i already own a 20 somewhat mpx FF so why another. The 36mpx would be a better choice to a alternative lineup in my case.

Bur i wont buy it, was just tempted but lack the money. However sonys new curved sensors will be much more interesting once they come out

I use a Fotodiox adapter with my X-T1 to mount Canon glass. The focus peaking makes it pretty easy to get things focused. I still prefer Fuji glass though (small, sharp, contrasty).

depends on what format you prefer, FF or APS-C.

if I had to choose, it'd be A7/A7r easily. I dont want my FOV changed when I mount my lenses on another body.

I hear that there's no aperture controls for Fuji EF adapter? This would be a deal breaker for me.

True, but there are advantages of having both crop and ff formats (more reach with the same lens). But that does make sense.

technically, it's not more reach with the same lens. That's only useful in scenarios where you're out of reach and doing heavy cropping. With tamron producing a 600mm lens for a little over 1K, I dont find it to be a valid issue.

You're just getting more pixels on target if you're using crop factor, and you can achieve the same with the A7r, virtually no crop factor advantage. You get the Full image 100% of the time and can do a heavy crop that 1% if needed.

quite frankly, there is very little value in the "reach" advantage of the crop sensors. 99% of all my shooting scenarios, I'm not starving for reach, I'll take the FF IQ + FOV rather than IQ penalty 99% of the time.

I agree, reach has no value to me or my shooting. Actually I tend to shoot wide. And I forgot that the a7/r has the crop mode for crop only lenses. So would you get the a7? Or pay the extra premium for the a7r?
