The Metabones Canon EF to Sony FZ T Smart Adapter (Black Matt) - With Tripod Foot (MB_EF-FZ-BT1) allows a Canon EF or EF-S mount lens to be mounted onto a Sony FZ-mount camera, including the F5, and F55. It features precision-machined, chromium-plated brass mounting surfaces on both the lens and camera sides. The adapter is designed to support electronic communication between the camera and lens, allowing image stabilisation as well as camera-controlled aperture functions. It also features an assignable function button. If an attached lens is also capable of generating EXIF metadata, the adapter passes that information for the camera to record in its metadata stream.

The adapter features a locking EF mount, providing a sturdy, wiggle-free, solid attachment of the lens to your camera. Just forward of the locking ring is a large cine-style geared iris control ring, which allows you to control the iris of your lens manually if you wish. In addition to the communication to allow your lens to work with an FZ mount camera, the adapter also allows the lens information to be displayed in the camera's viewfinder. The adapter uses the camera to power the lens, and does not require an additional power source. Internal flocking reduces the chance of internal reflections, which can degrade your image.

Features

• This CINE Smart adapter allows you to mount a Canon EF mount lens on a camera with a Sony FZ mount, which includes the Sony F5, and F55. The adapter does not contain optics, which means that there is no aperture compensation or image adjustment when using full frame lenses on your camera.

• The adapter passes electronic information between your camera and lenses, preserving the electronic function of your lens, except for autofocus. This allows you to utilise in-lens image stabilisation (if supported by your lens), auto iris control, lens EXIF info recorded in the camera's metadata, and display of lens information in the camera's viewfinder.

• The cine-style geared Iris ring on the adapter allows you to manually control the iris, if you wish, or use an optional lens motor to drive the iris.

• The adapter features numerical iris markings that are clear and easy to read. As the adapter allows you to control the iris electronically both manually or by using the camera controls. When working with lenses that have variable apertures as their zoom length changes, the adapter can maintain the aperture you set on the lens as you zoom out (provided you are not shooting wide open).

• The lens mount side of the adapter features a locking EF mount that is stronger than and less prone to wobble than the standard EF mount. Both mounting surfaces of the adapter are made from precision-machined brass that has been plated with chromium for a hard finish that is resistant to wear.
