Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter - Compatible with Canon FD & FL 35mm SLR Lenses to Sony Alpha E-Mount Mirrorless Cameras

This adapter lets me use my old Canon FDn lenses on my new Sony A6600. Both ends fit well and there is no wiggle. Am happy with my purchase. The shipping was pretty fast too:)

buen producto buen precio necesario para lo que se necesita, cumple con lo que ofrece por ese precio funciona perfecto para canos FD en mi cámara sony a7iii

Used this to attach my grandpa's Canon 50mm F1.4 to a Sony A7iii. The image is softer than a newer lens but has a smooth filmy look. Love it!

Bague s'adaptant parfaitement sur un SONY A7II et sur un objectif CANON FD . Pas de jeu , construction sérieuse ( alu principalement je pense ?) . Je laisse cette bague en permanence sur l'objectif donc il n'y aura pas souvent de démontage/remontage de ce coté . A suivre l'usure dans le temps mais je ne suis pas inquiet ; et à 20€ la bague ......Et le SONY A7II est un fabuleux couteau suisse : meme avec une bague comme ça , sans contacts du tout avec le boitier , celà vous permet d'avoir : - la loupe en différents grossissements- le surlignage pour la mise au point en 3 couleurs avec 3 niveaux de puissance ( focus peaking ) appelé INTENSIFICATION chez SONY !!!- le boitier qui s'adapte dans TOUS les modes ( A, P , M, S , AUTO , SCENES , memoires 1 et 2 ) quand on manoeuvre la commande de diaphragme .- la stabilisation ( à régler dans le menu suivant la focale de l'objectif ; très utile avec la loupe )J'ai ressorti mes CANON FD série L et les CONTAX ( avec d'autres bagues bien sur ) de leur sommeil et je m'amuse comme un jeunot qui redécouvre la photo .Mais , bon , l'autofocus , quand ça remue ( animalier , sport , enfants ...) il n'y a pas photo ( Arf! arf! ; je n'ai pas pu résister !!!) .Vous l'aurez compris , un SONY série II ( pour la stabilisation ) des bagues et de vieux très bons objectifs : c'est le top pour de la photo sage .Et pas besoin de mettre une fortune dans des bagues ; les chinois aussi savent travailler ( voir mes commentaires sur les bagues K&F CONCEPT .Bonnes photos .

I bought 3 different adapters for canon FD-NEX. The ones I tested were the Fotodiox, the Neewer, and the Fogta. First, I shall reiterate what others have said, that these are manual focus and aperture adapters, and they do not use lens elements that reduce image quality. You set your NEX to allow lens release, and it has no communication with the lens. You do it all by hand, just like in the olden days, which is why I love using these so much!The Fotodiox was the most expensive, and, after some consideration, the best. At first, I did not like the fact that the Fotodiox is set a little past infinity. The fact is that I rarely focus straight to infinity on the lenses I am using--I am doing macro, portrait, and long telephoto lenses with these adapters, it's more likely to be a wide angle landscape lens that you send straight to infinity when you shoot, and I have that in my NEX kit lens (which strangely seems to lack a specific infinity point, but that's another story). I also now appreciate that this extra sliver of focus makes sure that you should be able to safely hit infinity on every lens, which was a concern with the other adapters. What I like most about the Fotodiox adapter is that it really fits the camera and lenses snugly with no play, unlike the cheaper adapters. So I tend to use this adapter on my long telephoto to make sure that it's extra secure. I'm buying one more adapter, and this will be the one, despite that it costs twice what the others cost.The cheaper Neewer and Fogta appear to be set at infinity, but each of them has a little bit of play in the mount--they're not completely snug. I later noticed that the Neewer sometimes seemed to hit infinity just right, and then sometimes, it couldn't reach infinity! Huh? It may have been temperature induced (had trouble hitting infinity in hotter weather), but I think it's more because of the play in the mount. Hitting infinity focus requires very tight tolerances. Since the adapter is a little loose, if it's not in complete contact with the camera, it will never reach infinity. I had to wiggle the lens and adapter while pulling it tight against my camera, and then it popped back to infinity. So it's a cheap mount, what do you expect? I'd rather have an adapter that's just a hair shorter, having that safety factor of going slightly beyond infinity. The apeture lock on the Neewer adapter is very smooth and buttery, so I appreciate that. I have not experienced the problem of not reaching infinity on the Fogta adapter; it does seem to be set on infinity, but knowing what a small tolerance that is, It wouldn't surprise me if there's a chance it might not always hit it on certain lenses since there's no room for error. My only complaint about the Fogta adapter is that the aperture lock ring is loose feeling. It's a little harder to snap into place, and then it kind of wiggles after you set it. I don't think that actually matters for its function, but it makes it feel cheaper. Also, the Fotodiox and Neewer shipped very quickly, and the Fogta took a few weeks to ship from China. I use the Fogta and Neewer adapters on my portrait and macro lenses, where I rarely need to think about infinity, and a little wiggle in the mount doesn't bother these smaller lenses.

Bague de bonne facture, made in USA.Montée sur un Nex5 + objectif Canon 50mm 1.8Le résultat est bluffant par rapport à mon objectif de base Sony 18-55Mon conseil pour monter bague + objo :Monter d'abord l'objectif sur la bague.Mettre la bague en position "OPEN"S'assurer que l'objectif soit completement vissé en entendant un "clic" final.Au début je n'étais pas allé à fond et l'ouverture du diaphragme fonctionnait mal.Puis monter l'ensemble sur le Nex.Sule ne Nex dans les menus de réglage, il faut activer l'obscure option " Déc sans obj." !L'utilisation du Nex en mode full manuel est un régal avec le firmware qui permet le peaking.

I wanted to be able to try out some different lenses on my NEX-5n but could not afford some of the ones out now. I read that Canon has a good selection of FD lenses that can be used with this adapter. So far I have purchased a Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 for $25, 50mm f/1.4 for $45 and a 135mm f/2.5 for $75 and have enjoyed shooting with them. Shooting manual on the NEX is a breeze, just set it up as follows (on the NEX-5n, may be different on other models):MENU > SETUP> PEAKING LEVEL > MID (works best for me)...PEAKING COLOR> YELLOW (try other colors as well)...MF ASSIST > ON...RELEASE W/O LENS > ENABLE (you MUST do this!)The bottom right soft key allows you to zoom in to help fine tune focus. I shoot in aperture priority and as you adjust the F-stop on the lens, the camera will calculate the required speed. Two things to note: you will not have the aperture recorded in the picture file and you will not have image stabilization since its built into the lens. Not a big deal to me. I usually manually tweak the focus on my auto focus lens as well, so I actually enjoy using the manual focus lens. Its like driving a stick shift: you have more control over the camera.When you read about possible degradation for Canon FD lenses using an adapter, this is when you use an adapter to connect them to newer Canon cameras. For some reason, it requires another piece of glass which adds another layer of possible light loss and distortion. This is just a hollow adapter ring so no loss of light here! To expand the usability, get an extension tube for macros and a doubler to increase the focal length (Tokina makes a good one).Overall, this greatly expanded the usability of my NEX and I use it frequently!

I bought this adapter because I needed more versatility out of my Alpha Nex 5, as I only had the 16mm lens. I didn't want to drop $300 for the 18-55 lens, especially with the amount of barrel distortion it has. So with already having a couple FD lenses, I was keen on buying this adapter. I must say, it was an excellent purchase! I was warned that it might degrade image quality if I use a mount, but my pictures look better than ever. This is everything you could ever want out of a mount, it's small, allows for breach and bayonet mounting (I have both, and have tested both to work incredibly), and even aperture control (make sure to mount the lens correctly though otherwise you will not have this feature)! This adapter specifically is incredible because of the price you can get FD lenses. I have a Vivitar 28-200 macro, a Vivitar 500mm Mirror lens, a Canon 50mm prime, and a Canon 70-150mm zoom lens (picked them up for about a total of $45, look around Goodwill and garage sales for incredible deals on these lenses). The types of pictures I can now take are incredibly diverse, and all at the cost of $95. Definitely beats buying the Sony E mount lenses, especially in image quality. Before you could tell that this was not a DSLR camera, but now my pictures look incredible, and have no loss of detail even while zooming in fully.However there are two things to note when you use this adapter. You have to use manual focus, and the weight of the lenses makes some shooting difficult without a tripod. The manual focus for these works great (even better than with the E mount lenses as they don't rotate forever), and the shoot tips button becomes a MF assist, allowing you to zoom in 7 or 14 times to check your focus. The infinity is slightly off on my canon lenses, and I have to twist it a little shy of infinity in order to focus correctly, but not a huge issue. Just learn how your lens works with the camera, it might be different but certainly didn't lose any of its quality or features. The second part is a much bigger problem with these, as you will be using much larger lenses on the camera, making the weight balance be entirely in the lens. With my prime lens it's not a problem, but with my telephoto I have to keep the shutter at least on 1/150 in order to not get blurry pictures. The E mount lenses have built in image stability, which is not present here. For photos this isn't particularly difficult to work around, but for videos they get extremely shaky. Definitely use a tripod to film video with this, but the video will look incredible if you do.The only other complaint is that the tripod mount is attached by TINY screws, I haven't found a screwdriver to take it off yet, but not a huge inconvenience.Simply put, if you have a couple FD lenses lying around, there's no reason you should not get this adapter. For a fairly cheap price, you'll turn have professional shooting capabilities, and this is definitely the cheapest way to get a diverse set of lenses under your belt.
