With the Metabones IV (I don't have a Speedbooster), seems to be the same on FS7. New firmware adds A7S II compatibility and I plan to test it on A7S II today.

My SB works perfectly fine with my FS7. As always - if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I used the SB and regular version on 2 shoots this weekend and both performed flawlessly!

As expected, Metabones Mk IV is fine with A7S II in still mode. In video mode on the 2 EF lenses I tested, Canon 24-105 and Tokina 11-16, auto iris was slow and continuous autofocus didn't work. But fine for manual still or video. As a side note, the Kipon Baveyes showed vignetting with the Tokina 11-16 at 11mm and was even slower at auto iris than the Metabones IV. The Baveyes is a 0.7 focal reducer like SpeedBooster. So I'm concluding that these EF adapters are generally fine for still work and fine for video work with manual focus/iris.

Did the upgrade on EF> E Mt Mark IV and Speed Booster and all works fine on FS7 actually a little more ability to AF but I woudn't trust it and all lenses are different.
