FAQs

Does this adapter support autofocus?

No, this is a fully manual adapter. Autofocus and electronic communication between the lens and camera are not supported.

Can I use this adapter for video recording?

Yes, you can use this adapter for video recording. However, all focus and exposure settings must be adjusted manually.

How do I adjust the focal range with the extendable feature?

The adapter has a mechanism to adjust the flange distance. By carefully extending or retracting this part, you can alter the effective focal range and achieve macro capabilities.

What is the purpose of the light shield?

The light shield is designed to create a perfect seal within the adapter, preventing stray light from entering the camera sensor and causing unwanted flare or reduced contrast.

Is this adapter compatible with all Sony E-mount cameras?

This adapter is designed for all cameras with the Sony E-mount. However, always check specific camera body dimensions if using very large lenses, though it is unlikely to cause an issue.

What materials is the adapter made from?

The adapter is precision-machined from hardened aluminum and copper for durability and a precise fit.

What does the 'extendable' feature do?

The extendable feature allows you to change the distance between the lens and the camera sensor. This can be used to achieve a closer focusing distance (macro) or to fine-tune the focal plane.

Troubleshooting

Lens does not lock into the adapter

Ensure the lens's M-mount bayonet is correctly aligned with the adapter's mounting index and try again. Check for any obstructions in the mount.

Adapter does not lock into the camera

Verify that the adapter's mounting index is aligned with the camera's E-mount index. Ensure no debris is present in either mount. Gently apply pressure while rotating.

Images are consistently out of focus

Confirm that the adapter is fully extended or set to the desired focal distance. Practice manual focusing techniques using your camera's focus aids (focus peaking, magnification).

Light leaks or flare observed in images

Ensure the adapter's light shield is properly sealed and that there are no gaps between the lens, adapter, and camera. Clean the interior matte surfaces of the adapter gently.
