robert_thommes1 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 <p>Does anyone make a lens adapter for the Sony a6000 allowing for the use of Canon EF or EF-S lenses (in auto focus)? How about just in manual focus? I'm a Canon user thinking of reducing my gear to a Sony a6000, and it would be nice if I could use at least a couple of my Canon lenses. Thanks</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie1 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 <p>Hi Robert,<br> Metabones does a number of adapters. Probably the one best suited for your purpose is <a href="http://www.metabones.com/products/details/MB-EF-E-BM4">this one</a>.<br> You can read the details, but briefly it allows the aperture to function but you will need to focus manually.<br> Also a quick search on ebay gives <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0&_nkw=sony+E+mount+to+canon+ef+mount+adapter&_sacat=0">these results</a>.<br> Laurie</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_brown7 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 <p>Hi,<br> I have an SRB adapter for my Nikkors to the Nex 6 and I wouldn't spend no $400 on an adapter! And I don't like e-bay either...but SRB now, there's a great company....<br> <a href="mailto:enquiries@srb-griturn.com">enquiries/at/srb-griturn.com {change the /at/ for @}</a><br> Andy.<br /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 <p>The Metabones adapter gives virtually 100% compatibility with Canon lenses, including aperture control and auto focus. The same adapter can be used for Sony A7 full frame cameras. If you are okay with completely manual control, you can buy adapters for $50 or less. Consider yourself fortunate to have an automatic option. Sony E adapters for Nikon are nearly as expensive but manual only.</p> <p>http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=canon+ef+to+sony+E+adapters&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search=</p> <p>Don't be too hasty dumping the Canon body. EVF cameras are a lot slower in operation than SLRs with optical finders. They're not quite up to sports or active children.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariel_s1 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 <p>I've said it probably a thousand times, but given that you will lose autofocus, EXIF data, stabilization, aperture control, etc. then the best "adapter" is simply a Canon camera. This is coming from a NEX-6 shooter, by the way. Given that the electronic adapters come nowhere near the performance of any Canon, you'd be better off buying an SL1 or a T5i for Canon lenses. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
