Lensvid:We just published another interesting video from Photokina – this time it is a quick demo of the Techart PRO AF adapter:
https://lensvid.com/gear/lensvid-exclusive-techart-pro-adaptor-demo-turn-any-mf-lens-into-an-af-lens/
You probably reported this early this year but they claim that with an extra adapter you can adapt basically any MF lens (Canon/Nikon etc.) to be an AF on a Sony body. B.T.W. in the article I mentioned what Leica thinks about this :)
P.S. the strange focus issue in the start of the video – the A6300 + Sigma 30mm f/1.4 miss focus – annoying (I really hope Sony will come up with a new version – the lack of IBIS on this camera drove us crazy during the show as well as the low battery and super annoying menus and buttons).”
