For a Sony camera body (both a6400 and a7rIV) and either a Canon 8-15mm FE or the Tokina 10-17mm FE, which adapter would you recommend and why?
I've watched a few videos on the pros/cons of each, but they are based on topside photography. The basic take-away from those is that if you are going to shoot with a Sigma lens on the Sony body, get the Sigma adapter (makes sense). Otherwise, get the Metabones v5.
The Metabones is more expensive but if the price difference ($250) weren't an issue, which would you pick and why?

I use an MC-11. I got it used for $100, and updated it via Sigma's software, and it's flawless.
Not wanting to hijack the post, but I'd not heard of anyone successfully running the Tokina 10-17mm on the mc-11 adapter?
I'm looking to mount that lens on my sony a6000 but all the successful pairings with the sony mount I have found seemed to use the metabones adapter? (Would love to be corrected on this).

I use my MC-11 with a Tokina 10-17 on a Sony A6100. Works perfectly.
Oh really? That's interesting, do you mind me asking what housing/dome you have it in?
Also, any chance you could share some pics you've taken with it?
Thanks, Jon

Currently in a Seafrogs housing with a 6" dome, Likely moving to Nauticam with their 4.33" dome.
Haven't had the chance to dive it yet though (damn pandemic).
So only pics I have are topside. I've owned this lens for a long time and it shoots on my A6100/MC11 as it does on a native Canon DSLR.
Ah, sorry mate, just realised I've messaged you on scubaboard too, please ignore that one. That's a shame, was really wondering how practical it was underwater, yeah C-19 has a lot to answer for! Glad to hear the 10-17mm works on the mc-11 though.
Hopefully we can all get back in soon.

Hello, the Seafrog housing for the Sony A6100 with Tokina 10-17 mm lens and Sigma MC11 adapter have a zoom gear for the Tokina 10-17 mm lens?
Thanks

There is no zoom gear for the tokina. I have designed and 3d printed my own zoom gear for the lens, but have been unable to test it so far.

No worries! I was wondering if you were the same person!
I'll answer your zoom gear question from SB. There is no native zoom gear. I have been working on a design for a 3d printed zoom gear, and have gone through many revisions. I think I finally have one that will work, but I need to order some hardware and then test topside.
