I have been in search of the right wide angle lens for a long time for my system, finally Canon produces with the EF 16-35 f/4 L IS, after a few weeks of using this lens I could not be happier.
If you are looking for a good landscape lens, this is the one, even adapted to an A7r II with a Metabones adapter this will produce sharp images with plenty of resolution to match even the new 5DSR.
I would say this is the best wide angle lens on the market, I have tested out the EF 11-24 f/4 L and I would rather have this lens any day of the week. The 11-24 f/4 is a great lens, but this is a lot smaller, can use filters and fits my style of shooting better than the 11-24.
Sony just announced the A7 R II, 42mp Back Side Illumination (BSI) 4K video up to ISO 102400 with IBIS 5 axis sensor stabilization.
It offers full EF lens support for Canon users with Metabonse adapter, including AF and continuos tracking and aperture control. Supposedly it has a fast phase detection AF system, but I will wait to hear what the early testers have to say.
Fotodiox adapter is better ? here

This is
potentially a huge deal – especially for Canon users. We’ve used an a7R
II with a Canon 24-70mm lens
and a Metabones adapter, and focus is indeed very fast indeed. We’ll be
looking at this in more depth as soon as we have a production sample
camera, but for now, we’re highly impressed.
Not great AF with adapted Canon lenses here

Over hyped? over priced? here
still needs fixing here

This could be my next camera if Canon don't get moving quickly, I think they will, but I think Canons new sensor technology is still a couple of years away. However Sony is aiming for a larger chunk of the sensor market, maybe they will make a deal with Canon until Canon can produce sensors as good or better than Sony.
Sony still needs to fix their lossy RAW file's, we need uncompressed 14 bit RAW. See interview here.
If this works as well as I am hearing with EF lenses, I may try this camera out, I don't like the Sony interface and I don't like Sony's support or trust that they will stay the course, but the Sony sensors are very clean and I may have to get on board with this one, I will keep my 5D Mk III, because the A7 is still no DSLR and some times I need that kind of speed
