The adapter works great for me & I completely love it. It allows me to mount Canon EF lenses to my Sony Nex-5 camera, which is exactly what I wanted it for. The build quality of the adapter is better than I expected and should hold up pretty well. It also looks great on the camera. That being said, there are some things to consider with this adapter: - The adapter has no means of using the camera's auto-focusing, so everything must be focused manually, which may or may not be an issue for you. Also, since the Nex cannot actually detect the lens that is attached, it won't automatically zoom in for focusing, you must manually push the MF assist button; MF assist will zoom in on the LCD to show fine focus details, then you must either push the exit button or take the photo while still zoomed in. If you are shooting handheld, this is a little hard to do without physically moving the camera out of focus again while pushing buttons. Focusing without using the MF assist zoom while shooting handheld works for me too. It just depends on what you are shooting, how precise of focus you need, depth of field, etc. However, on a tripod, or other stable surface, it works out perfectly for me. - There is also no means to change the aperature with just the adapter and the Nex camera. This could be a drawback, depending on what types of photos you'll be shooting. I will almost always be using this lens for its 1.8 aperature, so it works for my needs. - While there are things this adapter cannot do, please keep in mind the price. The adapter from Sony (LAEA1) Sony Alpha LAEA1 Mount Adaptor (Black) that attaches Sony A-mount alpha lenses (with auto-focus, aperature, etc.) costs $159.95 on amazon as of today. So, for the $33 or so that I paid, I am extremely happy. So, my advice is this: if you already own or have access to some nice Canon EF lenses and don't mind using manual focus, don't wait. Buy this adapter now. If you are getting this adapter and expecting to buy a lens or lenses to go with it, consider the drawbacks and determine if it meets your needs & skill level. If you don't want to use manual focus or you need to easily use aperatures other than wide open, this adapter is not for you. I'm posting some photos of the adapter and Canon lens attached to the Nex. I'm not an expert photographer by any means, but I'm also posting a quick shot of a carebear just to give you an example that was shot using the Nex, this adapter, and this great Canon EF lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens (Which, by the way, I highly recommend the lens, especially for the price) Finally, some tips if you do buy the adapter: 1. You must enable the camera to take pictures even though it doesn't know anything about the lens attached. Do this by going into the menu > setup > release w/o lens > enable. You only have to do this once and can leave the setting on, even with your regular 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. 3. Test how the release lever works before attaching lenses, just to make your life easier & so you know how it works. It physically pushes down, toward the camera (as if it were mounted).

After going into the Menu->Setup->Release w/o Lens->Enable on my Nex-5N I was able to use all my Canon lenses on it. When using this adapter you must manually focus, so I also went into Menu->Setup->Peaking Level->Med and now I can easily focus the lenses on the fly while recording video. Another great feature of the Nex-5N (possibly all NEXs) is that it replaces Button B with the MF Zoom function when using the adapter, making it fairly easy to get critical focus for stills, where I can squeeze out even more details on the eyes then I can with just focus peaking. Canon's cropped lenses are made for a 1.6x crop instead of a 1.5x like Sony, so there is a chance you will get vignetting when using EF-S lenses, but on both my cropped lenses the EF-S 10-22 and the Sigma 30mm 1.4 I didn't notice any more vignetting then normal (maybe at 10mm there was a tiny bit of darkening at the corners, but well within fixable levels for Lightroom). Canon EOS/EF lenses do not have aperture rings so all your lenses will be wide open. For me this isn't really a problem, since I'm mostly using my Canon lenses for the 1.4 and 2.8 apertures that are not as common in the E system. The one exception is that I almost always want to stop down the 100mm macro lens, and occasionally the 30mm 1.4 down to f/2. So to use this adapter, you need to put the lens on a Canon body in AV or M mode and set the aperture to the desired opening, press and hold the DOF preview button, while you remove the lens (also while the camera is still on). It's a bit of a contortionist act, but it works well and the lens'aperture just pops back into place when you put it back on the Canon. If you need a lot of aperture control, you can get adapters with an inline iris, but they didn't appeal to me since it can cause it's own vignetting and won't work with EF-S lenses. The other option is a four hundred dollar adapter by Metabones, which offers full and automatic (from the Sony body) aperture control, support for image stabilizers and exif data. The problem with that other than the cost and that it's still manual focus and it's almost never in stock. PROS: + Fits well to the camera and the lens + Works perfectly + Sony Nex camera have a lot of aids (peaking and zoom) for manual focus + Lets me use my 10mm and the rotating screen to get sweeping interiors from the corners of a room. + Lets me use my 30mm 1.4 and 28-75 2.8 lens to take really low light photos and great portraits. + Keeps me from buying another macro lens, which I don't use enough as it is. CONS (more like known limitations): - Must change menu settings before using it. - Can not control aperture (aperture can be set and locked in from a Canon Camera, but it's an ordeal). - Canon lenses are much bigger and will block the flash. - Does not support Canon IS and Sony NEXs do not have sensor stabilization like Alphas do, so my long canon lenses don't benefit as much from this lens other than maybe for fixed tripod video.

Use this on my a6000 all the time very good quality doesn’t add too much weight on and very good quality.

Works as described. Recently I tested it with my Sigma 17-50mm f2.8. The lens fit tightly to the adapter and the adapter fit tightly to the body. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I wished the aperture ring would actually click when using G lenses. It just glides one way or the other so you have no idea what f stop you are using outside of the extremes. Not an issue if using old manual glass since you set the adapter to one end and use the aperture ring on the lens. But for the inexpensive price this adapter does what it's supposed to do. If you plan on using lenses with some weight to them and a tripod I suggest purchasing an adapter that includes a tripod mount. After using this with a couple of my G lenses I realize it's great to throw in my bag and have it for handheld but I wouldn't want to put the stress of the weight on both my camera and the adapter. If you want to know more about using an adapter and why, read on. I'm using it with an A6000 and a few Nikon G lenses I have left over from switching to mirrorless from my D5200. Products like this are for those that are comfortable with using a camera manually. I always shoot in M, and unless my subject is moving (like kids) I manually focus. If you are looking to have auto-focus and auto-exposure this is not a product for you as it will not let the camera use those settings since Sony cameras can't communicate with non Sony E lenses. Just stick with purchasing native Sony lenses if you need Auto. Using mirrorless with it's Electronic View it's very easy to get exactly what you expect out of your picture. As you adjust aperture/iso/shutter the EV will brighten up or darken as you adjust (so long as you have this setting checked in the menu) which makes getting the exposure you desire simple. Setting one of the cameras fn buttons to use focus zoom allows precise focus on your subject. I feel like I'm using my fathers old Nikon film camera but cheating since I can actually see my changes live before shooting. I've recently purchased a couple old Nikon AI-S lenses as you can buy them on Ebay fairly cheap. Less then $100 gets you a 50mm f1.4 and closer to $300 can get you a 50mm f1.2. If you want to reap the advantages of mirrorless and score great quality glass on the cheap and understand using a camera (i.e. using manual) you can't go wrong. If you are learning photography and want to dive in to manual control I suggest purchasing an adapter such as this and an old Nikon Ai or Ai-s lens (something fast, like f1.4 or 1.2) and playing around. You'll soon see how easy it is with EV, and wonder why Nikon/Canon have not offered at least something to compete.

I purchased a manual lens for use with a Sony a6000 camera. This adapter is absolutely perfect. Attached smoothly and easily to a Minolta MC Rokkor-x 50mm f1.7 lens. The adapter is very solid, and full metal construction. This looks nice, and blends well with the lens. There is a red dot on the adapter where the white dot normally is for Sony lenses to align and mount to the camera. There is a metal button on the side of the adapter to remove the lens if necessary. I have used this on my lens for over a month all through many areas and about 500 shots without a single issue. I would highly recommend this adapter if you have a Minolta MC/MD mount lens to be used on an e-mount (NEX, a3000-a6000, a7, etc). Personally, I have found manual lenses much better than AF for many reasons. Mostly because I can manually choose the focus and aperture control without setting my camera to that mode. Ultimately, this allows me full manual mode while my a6000 is in shutter priority or intelligent modes. This allows for beautiful pictures if you are not in a rush, and can take the time to perfectly focus. It takes some practice to figure out which aperture setting you need to provide the proper depth while focusing manually (you can go infinite or choose shallower depths). All in all, this is a very reasonable way to upgrade to a manual focus primary lens instead of $300+ for an e-mount lens (I paid $20 for the lens). Note: Keep in mind if you are going to use something like this on an APS-C camera (pretty much all e-mounts except the a7), 50mm does not equate to the "human eye". In basic terms, if you use 50mm with APS-C the view will look zoomed in compared to you just looking with the naked eye (meaning you might have to back up to take the picture). If you are looking for the "human eye" perspective I would recommend a 28mm, 30mm, or 35mm. The 30mm is the closest (I believe its about 29mm APS-C is equal to 50mm on full frame). Pros: cheap, metal, looks good, functions perfectly Cons: no auto-focus (if that's your goal)

After spending some time looking for a low cost alternative to the Metabones Adapter or Speedbooster. I wanted to connect some Rokinon lenses to the Sony FS700. The lens that I was using previous was the Sony E 3.5-6.3/pz 18-200 OSS. There isn’t any issue with that lens, however I wanted to shoot some shots at a wider aperture, larger than 3.5. I was able to achieve the shallow dof in some cases, but I knew there were shots that I would have loved to have shot on the wide end of my Rokinon’s 1.5T. I am also aware of the three means of controlling DOF; Focal Length, Distance to Subject and APERTURE. Most shooting situations indoors gave my distance to subject option problems. The idea of shooting subjects is to pull them off the wall and create depth to the shot. This Fotasy NAEF Pro Canon EOS EF Lens to Sony NEX fits tight, zero play, snap click to let you know its fitting without any issue. My order arrived in two days via Prime. I received a text on my phone that the package had been delivered and didn’t rush home as I was out shooting. I took my time getting home later that night expecting this adapter to have some issue. I was blown away at how tightly fitting this was along with the feeling of a solid build. I've heard a few comments regarding play, maybe it was a defective adapter, I don't have any such issue. It feels like it will last. I didn’t expect a 20 something dollar product to actually help me out, providing me with the quick choice of sticking a prime on and opening up. This works wonderfully. My thought on its ability to surprise me for the price, all I could asks aloud was, "Are You Serious." I'm slowly regaining my trust in products.

I bought this adapter to use some of my F ai ais lenses, unfortunately the button on adapter can stuck the rotation of aperture ring of lenses, aperture cannot go below 5.6, not suitable for them. The older non-ai lens works fine

Works well up to a point. Definitely not German engineering yet very decently built. The Sony side bayonet is buttery smooth, the Nikkor side much coarser and tighter. You have to be very careful when removing the lens from the adapter, the forces required may cause equipment damage. I recommend holding tightly the adapter, not the camera. Once the lens is on the camera, the setup is rock solid, there is absolutely no play and that is remarkable for such a cheap device. Now, the not so good: 1- I believe that the focal length extension is not all that precise. I noticed that with all my old Nikkor lenses the "Infinity" point was noticeably shifted. That may not be that important if you focus through the camera viewfinder, but you cannot rely on the distance scales and even less so on the depth of field markings, so if you are used to "pre-focus" you lens, you may have a tough time with it (I did! At first I just could not figure out why a large percentage of my shots were too soft). I also noticed that when set on infinity, the lenses actually focused way past infinity and the entire field of view rendered out of focus (even at small apertures where the depth of field should have compensated considerably). At closer distances the shift became smaller, and in close focusing there seems the actual focus point comes a lot closer to the markings on the lens. I do not have sufficient knowledge of optical engineering to explain. 2- I wish this adapter had a ring or lever to momentarily open the lens fully. It would be a great help for critical focus. I have seen other adapters that indeed have such feature, I would seriously consider one of those. One more point I would like to make: If you are buying this device in order to take advantage of the greater light gathering power of your older lenses, my advice is "FORGET IT"; while you may gain one or two f stops in light gathering power as compared to prime Sony lens, you will also lose about 3 f stops in stabilization !!! Not a very good deal, plus manual focus??!! Unless you have some spectacular old lens like one of those legendary Micro Nikkors, just Get yourself a modern lens and enjoy...
