Zethar I've got nothing in your league of lenses but did try a couple 'whites' with Metabones and ended up adding the 70-400g2. Very pleased especially weight-wise. Not quite
the IQ of your pro level stuff but since I've got a night job it works for me.
Now don't these guys look better in the woods than on a cereal box-

Did a count and on the trip I used the A7Rii + LAEA3 + 70-400g2 2.5 times as much as I did the 7Dii + 300/2.8.
Thinking over the whole experience photo wise if I'd had a flash strong enough to reach way up for the owls I could have left the
Canon at home---the only place it really would have beat the Son would have been BIFs but Cost Rica didn't present me with many
BIF possibles.....any birds we saw flying were gong 2-5 feet from under the canopy to under the canopy. Still the Canon was necessary
for the owls so no regrets there.
I did shoot frogs with both and at those distances I can say that the Nissin did wonferfully compared to the 580EXii.

Absolutely love this shot especially that leafy, mossy perch!

Do you think a Canon close focus adapter might work on the 24-240mm ?
I used it on the Sony 70-400g2 and thought it do OK.
Maybe just another option. They come in different sizes, here is what I'm referring to-

When we were hiking on the trip I put it in the pack and left a dedicated macro lens in the room.

How about E-mount spacers?

Canons to the left, Canons to the right,
We hold our L glass toward the light,
Digitizing in a snap reflective glory
That will forever tell our imaged story.

Thanks David. These are both Canon mounts adapted. I purchased 2 dumb adaptors for £10 each and flocked them and they stay on the lenses permanently now. Im actually blown away by both of them. I had the 14 before but forgot how sharp it can be. On both of those shots when zoomed to 100% they honestly seem sharper than my 24 TSE. I will have to do some side by side comparisons to check.

EDIT - Im a bit annoyed with the reflection shot as I thought I had more of the crane in the reflection but its cut off a bit and I didnt realise until I got home

Funny that a shot annoyed you, it floored me . . .

Seriously, I love everything about it.

Hehe Yup.

Dislike button please!

No updates on when Crutchfield will even ship mine, so I'm going to wait until Friday to get an update otherwise I'll have to look elsewhere. I did email a shop that I've bought from in the past and they responded at 5:45 that they just received 2 in stock via email, of course I didn't see the email until 5:59 and they closed at 6. I would've felt bad calling in to order the day before Thanksgiving and holding up the store from closing up and going home. I'll call back on Friday to see if they still have it.

Current Gear: Sony RX1RII

Continuing the downtown LA batch.
