Compatibility
| Supported | Not supported |
|
EF lenses (see below for list of tested lenses) EF-S lenses (see note 1) Image stabilization (IS) (see note 2) Electronic manual focusing (e.g. EF 85/1.2L II and discontinued EF 50/1.0L) EXIF (focal length, aperture, zoom range) P, A, S, M exposure modes Contax N mount lenses modified to Canon EF by Conurus (see note 3) Contax 645 NAM-1 adapter modified to Canon EF by Conurus Sigma, Tamron and Tokina lenses in Canon EF mount (see note 4) Manual focus lenses adapted to Canon EF mount ('chipped' or 'AF confirm' adapters are not officially supported) |
Autofocus Lens correction such as peripheral shading, CA and distortion |
Note:
- Vignetting at corners may occur for certain EF-S lenses because they are designed to cover a 1.6x crop image circle but Sony NEX has a 1.5x crop sensor.
- Image Stabilization lens requires adapter firmware version 02 or above. After flipping the IS on/off switch on the lens, you may need to press the WO button on the Smart Adapter for the change to take effect.
- A small percentage of samples of Contax N Planar 50/1.4 may be incompatible with NEX cameras.
- A third party zoom lens may need to be registered with the Smart Adapter first in order to detect its maximum aperture.

Why Metabones?
Since its inception, Metabones has been designing and manufacturing lens adapters recognized among professionals and enthusiasts as leaders in design and workmanship.
Contrary to the popular trend of other factories using an aluminum ring painted black on the camera-body-side, we instead take no short-cut but use precision-machined brass with chromium plating on both the camera-body and the lens sides of our adapters, in order to ensure smooth mounting, great appearance, and durability. The lens side of the adapter features a strong leaf-spring structure, strengthening the adapter-lens connection and ensuring tightness of the lens in order to reduce wear and prevent focus errors and optical alignment issues from appearing.
Metabones uses matte-black treatment to keep internal reflection to a minimum in order to maintain the maximum optical quality possible with the lens.
Metabones Canon EF Lens to Sony NEX Smart Adapter follows this tradition of uncompromising precision, robust build quality and outstanding finish.
Features
- Both camera-side and lens-side of the adapter are made of brass, precision-machined and plated with chromium.
- Satin surface finish - just like your OEM lens and camera mounts.
- Precise fit and solid connection - lens has no play, gap or wiggling when mounted on adapter and no adjustments are required to fit your lens.
- Designed to reach infinity focus while maintaining the correct registration distance required to maintain optical quality of CRC lenses or lenses with floating elements.
