Pricing has been announced for the Canon C300. As expected it is $15,999. B&H are taking pre-orders for the [url="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/839221-REG/Canon_5819B002_EOS_C300_PL_Cinema.html/BI/6943/KBID/7492"]PL mount version here[/url] and the [url="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/839220-REG/Canon_5779B002_C300_Cinema_EOS_Camcorder.html/BI/6943/KBID/7492"]EF mount C300 here[/url]. Both are the same price. Orders will ship 30th January.

This is great news for NEX 5N and FS100 owners. Suddenly that limited range of E-mount lenses have been supplemented by the entire Canon EOS range! Metabones are set to release a fully electronic interface adapter for Canon EF lenses to Sony e-mount (NEX 5N, FS100). Unlike the bulky MTF adapter it has electronic communication between the Sony body and Canon lens itself so you can adjust aperture on the camera. It also supports IS and requires no external power.

Redrock ones is too pricey but $399 might persuade me.
I have a Kipon, hated it.

Don't like either the RR or Kipon adapters really... Hopefully Metabones will help us out in near future

Good thing you mentioned that.  I was going to buy the Kipon for my 135mm F2.0 (one of Canons better lenses). 

Now ill wait.  Thanks.
