I want it cheap, I want it without electronics and I want it for the Canon FD mount!

Just received the updated adapter that is supposed to work with the NEX-5n and NEX-7 — it doesn’t (at least on my NEX-5n). Doesn’t control the aperture, doesn’t provide power to IS lenses. Basically, it’s acting the same as a $20 Chinese Canon adapter but cost $400. Waiting to hear from Metabones to see what they will do.

It has been pointed out that lenses made for PD-AF are not a very good match for CD-AF mirrorless bodies in the AF department. Like most 4/3 lenses on micro 4/3: with the Olympus adapter they will focus… eventually…
Though having AF would be neat, of course, just for the occasion when you don’t mind waiting a bit.

Might as well use that Canon body. Sounds pretty stupid to carry one around just for setting the aperture.

I’m pretty sure that he knows already. This adapter made it to every photo news/review sites.
