Sony FS7 E-mount and A-mount with LA-EA4 and Speedbooster lens tests from Dan Chung on Vimeo.
Dan Chung from Newsshooter is reviewing the new E-mount FS7 4K camera. He is not happy with the E-mount lenses for many reasons while A-mount lenses do work much better than expected on the FS/:
What makes Sony’s A-mount lenses different to Canon’s is that the aperture is still controlled from the body (or LA-EA adapter) via a mechanical level. Canon EOS lenses are all electronic and so without power there is no way to adjust iris.

This makes them about the most suitable AF lens out there for adaptation to video.
