09Oct Canon EF Lens to Sony NEX Adapter with IRIS and Image Stabilization
For those shooting on the Sony FS100, FS700, or NEX cameras who wish to control the iris of Canon EF lenses you would need something like the Metabones electronic adapter. In the last few weeks, a few other companies have developed a similar adapter that allows you to control the iris of a Canon EF lens directly from the Sony body, and states that it also supports Image Stabilization. One new adapter quotes the following:
” I hope this does not sound too silly: We developed this 100% on our own. We took a different route, and achieved the same result, if not better
“
That’s a bold statement, and i’m hoping to shed more light to see how well this new Canon EF to Sony NEX smart adapter works. Especially since it’s currently half the price of the Metabones adapters. If you guys have more information, leave a comment. You can find this new EF to NEX adapter via eBay (Click Here).

Did the price immediately go up on this? It doesn’t seem like half the price of the Metabones adapter.

@Jay Windland – The Metabones ‘electronic EF’ adapter runs for $400+. Not just the basic adapter.

Sounds promising. It would be awesome if they can develop one now for the GH2/3 and AF100

Since we now know E mount accepts full frame sensors (VG900!), the next race is on for who can make one of these adapters that will take EF full frame lenses onto a VG900 and all the other full frame E-mount cameras Sony will ship next year.

Just sent them a message via eBay about a M4/3 version and got this reply:
Dear Lee,
Yes, we have… but it’s very time-consuming and risky trying to break the M4/3 body communictions circuit… so the adpater we will make, will have external power supply, and external aperture adjusting (not through the M4/3 body)…
if you’re interested, leave us your email, and we will keep you posted on the latest information..
best,
R.J.

Lee,
This is good news for people in line for the passive m4/3 version of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera.

Sweet! Already considering a Sony or Panny body for the next purchase, so something like this will be perfect!

Is it possible to get auto focus with an adapter? Maybe not not but scientifically.
