Sony adapters

[ricardo_sousa11]

After much thought, I have decided to get an a7sII as a B-cam with my NX1, I have a couple of Canon lenses which I will be using on the Sony, but now I dont know which adapter should I get...I dont need super fast focus, I will only use AF for hobby photography and nothing major. I found the Commlite, but it seems to have some flaring issues, and the Viltrox III which...I dont know much about...what do you guys recommend, it has to be cheap.

I have the first version A7s and have four different adapters.

My Commlite doesn't even mount to my A7s (it did to my previous A7) but I think it is an older one.

My Metabones IV I now use only with a manual focus lens, I have another no name adapter that I use with another lens for manual focus only (this adapter stopped auto focusing all together but now works well for manual focus with a lens that plays up otherwise).      For my AF Canon lenses I now use a really cheap Fotga adapter and it works ok.     AF is slow with all my lenses but is usable for stills.     Useless for video though for AF.        It would likely be a bit faster on the 7sii but how much faster?   

The Fotga cost me under $100 Australian (well under $100 US) and is by far the cheapest I have found but does work ok.     Unlike all the others it is plastic and very light but still holds up well with my lenses.       Focus is not fast enough for moving anything but is ok for a patient adult portrait.     Face detect and even eye AF (AFS) works with it and even smile shutter works (camera will fire when a smile is detected without hitting the shutter button).

There is supposed to be a faster AF adapter in the Saker Falcon lite which is an adapter that allows AFC even on the PDAF cameras (not the CDAF only ones like the A7s) but is still supposed to be faster for AFS.     I can not seem to find out if it IS faster but I will be getting one (it is a bit down my "to buy" list though).
