Here are some other, miscellaneous comments, not necessarily related to using long Canon lenses. Remember, this is all with the Metabones EF-to-E T Adapter MkV. Any other adapter might give totally different results.

Works very well with these lense:
EF 14mm f/2.8L II (in-body image stabilization is a big plus here)
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II
EF 1.4x TC-III
EF 2.0x TC-III (had to manually jog focus every so often, shooting at 1,000mm)

Other pluses:

In-body stabilization can be used in conjunction with built-in lens stabilization.
WYSIWYG EVF (there's no excuse for forgetting to check your settings when shooting Manual)
If there's any latency in the EVF, I'm not seeing it.
Controls fall naturally for a Canon user (after only an hour, I didn't need to look at the back to change ISO, SS and Aperture)
Small body is nice with smaller lenses.
Battery life is very reasonable.
Quiet operation

Minuses:
If buffer fills, the camera becomes a useless brick (You need to avoid at all cost. With Canon, you keep shooting, just at a much slower rate)
Small body is a disadvantage with a super-telephoto, requiring more grip force.
The JPEG files embedded in RAW files are extremely low resolution, making them worthless for culling fur and feather shots. You have to convert to JPEG< TIFF or DNG to get a use preview with decent resolution.
