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).

This adapter allows me an affordable opportunity to use some of my vintage Nikon lenses with my Sony Mirrorless cameras. The adapter mounts and unmounts easily and is a perfect fit while allowing me to use my old Nikon lenses for a more retro video and photo look. Works perfectly and as a bonus gives you an opportunity to practice manual focusing.

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 perfectlyCons: no auto-focus (if that's your goal)
