Lens Registration required for non-Canon branded lenses

Lens registration may be required before the use of a Sigma, Tamron or Tokina zoom lens (EF mount).

Follow these simple steps and the correct maximum aperture of your zoom lens will be stored in the Metabones EF lens to E mount Speed Booster / Smart Adapter's non-volatile memory.

  1. Turn on your NEX camera.

  2. Attach your zoom lens to your NEX camera using the Metabones Speed Booster / Smart Adapter.

  3. Zoom your lens to the longest zoom position.
     

  4. Zoom your lens to the widest zoom position.

  5. Turn off the camera.

  6. Wait at least 5 seconds. You will hear a "tick" sound from the lens when it parks at minimum aperture. Your zoom lens' correct maximum aperture is now stored in the non-volatile memory of your Metabones Smart Adapter.

  7. Remove your zoom lens from the camera.

Note:

  • The lens registration procedure above is NOT required for fixed-focal length lenses.

  • The lens registration procedure above is NOT required for most Canon lenses and some third party lenses because maximum aperture data may have already been preloaded into the Metabones Speed Booster / Smart Adapter.
