Buyer Critiques

The adapter functions good for me I totally appreciate it. It permits me to mount Canon EF lenses to my Sony Nex-five camera, which is specifically what I wanted it for. The build high-quality of the adapter is greater than I expected and should really hold up fairly well. It also looks amazing on the camera. That getting said, there are some factors to contemplate with this adapter:
- The adapter has no indicates of employing the camera's automobile-focusing, so anything have to be focused manually, which may or might possibly not be an problem for you. Also, considering that the Nex can not basically detect the lens that is attached, it will not automatically zoom in for focusing, you will need to manually push the MF help button MF help will zoom in on the LCD to show fine focus facts, then you ought to either push the exit button or take the photo while nevertheless zoomed in. If you are shooting handheld, this is a tiny challenging to do devoid of physically moving the camera out of focus once again while pushing buttons. Focusing with no making use of the MF assist zoom while shooting handheld works for me as well. It just depends on what you are shooting, how precise of concentrate you want, depth of field, and so on. Nonetheless, on a tripod, or other stable surface, it operates out perfectly for me.
- There is also no implies to adjust the aperature with just the adapter and the Nex camera. This could be a drawback, depending on what kinds of photographs you'll be shooting. I will just about usually be making use of this lens for its 1.8 aperature, so it works for my demands.
- When there are points this adapter can't do, please preserve in mind the price. The adapter from Sony (LAEA1)Sony Alpha LAEA1 Mount Adaptor (Black)that attaches Sony A-mount alpha lenses (with automobile-focus, aperature, and so on.) expenses $159.95 on amazon as of these days. So, for the $33 or so that I paid, I am tremendously pleased.
So, my guidance is this: if you already own or have access to some good Canon EF lenses and do not thoughts utilizing manual concentrate, don't wait. Get this adapter now. If you are acquiring this adapter and expecting to acquire a lens or lenses to go with it, give consideration to the drawbacks and ascertain if it meets your needs ability level. If you do not want to use manual concentrate or you have to readily use aperatures other than wide open, this adapter is not for you.
I am posting some photographs of the adapter and Canon lens attached to the Nex. I'm not an professional photographer by any indicates, but I'm also posting a speedy shot of a carebear just to give you an instance that was shot using the Nex, this adapter, and this awesome Canon EF lens:Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens (Which, by the way, I very advocate the lens, in particular for the value)
Finally, some guidelines if you do buy the adapter:
1. You need to allow the camera to take images even even though it does not know anything about the lens attached. Do this by going into the menu setup release w/o lens allow. You only have to do this once and can leave the setting on, even with your typical Nex lenses.
2. Use the red line above the "EOS-NEX" wording on the adapter to line up with the lens, just as if you were mounting it to a camera.
three. Test how the release lever operates ahead of attaching lenses, just to make your life much easier so you know how it works. It physically pushes down, toward the camera (as if it were mounted).

I use this adapter to mount my Canon EF lenses to my Sony FS100 (camcorder). It certainly is a solid adapter. The lenses fit tightly to the camera body, and I do not ever have to worry about it loosening my camera's lens mount. I mainly use the Canon 24-70mm two.8 L series lens. The only complications I've encountered with the lens adapter is that it appears to give the lens back concentrate troubles. In other words, every single time I zoom in to concentrate and then zoom out, the lens has lost focus on the wide finish. The other predicament is that it is not electronic, so my lens is often set at 2.8. I suggest a variable ND filter, which is a temporary resolution. The DOF will continually be paper thin with no manage of the aperture.
