I've seen these before, more expensive made by Metabones. I guess this clone hasnt had the fuss that the Speedbooster clone has. Theres no reason why it wouldnt work. Of course changing over to NEX opens up a whole new opportunity. But you know that.
Just check out the chart of compatible lenses near the bottom of the ebay listing.

As it should. Speedbooster forms an APSC-sized image.

Hang on.. before you get the wrong idea, the Speedbooster would be the wrong adapter for using Canon lenses on the A7/r, you just need to be looking at the right adapter - not ruling out the idea altogether! |

Just found this:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/994949-REG/fotodiox_eos_auto_nex_p_adapter_for_canon_ef.html
Supposedly provides electronic communication from lens to body allowing auto focus, IS and aperture control. Worth trying out. |

Even if you buy the most expensive metabones adapter, the af won't perform anywhere near as well as a canon dslr.
