Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 IS on Sony A7S? Body or lens stabilisation

[Deific]

If purchasing the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD lens, Canon mount (featuring IS/VC), and mounting it onto the Sony A7S body using the metabones speed booster, will the Image Stabilization (Vibration Compensation) function operate out of the camera or the lens?

I ask as the Sony mount version doesn't come with IS as Sony cameras control IS out of the camera.

I often use both steadicam and shoulder rigs for different situations, but handheld is also a nice way to shoot and I find that I always prefer IS over none in that scenario.

The video above demonstrated IS when walking which I would never choose to do. When standing still, its a much nicer image though.

That isn't obvious from the OP. the OP asks "will the Image Stabilization (Vibration Compensation) function operate out of the camera or the lens?"

Sounds like he wants to know if the camera will provide IS, not if the IS function of the lens will work. But it is ambiguous.

This is correct. I had read that the A7S provides its own IS, despite the A7 and A7R not doing - but I can no longer find that source, or any other sources that mention it. I wanted to know whether the lens having VC as well as the body would cause a conflict, but as it now seems that the body actually doesn't have it, then it isn't an issue (even though VC still won't be functional out of the lens).


The reason for wanting to go with Canon mount/speed booster is actually because I regularly use C100/C300 and would like a lens that I can use on any of the 3.
