It's funny how sometimes when you look out from your living room window the weather looks so nice and warm but usually the reality is quite different here in Iceland and we call this phenomenon "windoweather" (Gluggaveður)
Here I'm using a Sony a7s with a Canon 16-35mm F4 IS lens. The lens is like no other Canon ultra wide lens I have tried before as it is sharp corner to corner wide open. To make the Sony camera work with the Canon lens I need an adapter. Here I'm using the Fotodiox Pro EF-NEX auto and I can't see any difference between using my Canon 5D3 vs the Sony A7s image wise with the 16-35mm lens other the resolution as the Sony A7s is 12mp and the Canon is over 20mp. A wile back Ken Rockwell did a test with a similar setup and found some problems with the image quality. I have done all kinds of test and have yet to find any problems with this setup myself other then slow focusing and believe me, I'm really picky!!
If you use this setup like I do, for landscape, seascape or nightwork and don't need focusing then this setup works fine.
I'm also trying out new brand of 100mm filters from Zomei. The Zomei 0.9 Graduated filter is a resin filter, same as my Lee but much cheaper. The build quality is on par with the Lee and both fit in the same 100mm holder. The optical quality is about the same tho it does suffer from a little magenta colorcast, but that is easily fixed in post. The Zomei is about 85% of the price of the Lee 0.9 Grad so you can have a whole set of filters for the price of one Lee grad.
I love the windows of this apartment block. So even though I already have plenty of shots from my camera walk this week, I couldn't resist snapping this, as I was walking by today
