Extended Product Information
FAQs
Will autofocus work with this adapter?
No, this adapter does not support autofocus. All focusing must be done manually using the lens's focus ring.
Can I control the aperture from the camera body?
No, aperture control is manual. If your Sony A/Minolta AF lens has an aperture ring, you will adjust it directly on the lens. If the lens does not have an aperture ring, you may be limited to the widest aperture.
What does 'electronically not supported' mean?
It means the adapter does not transmit any electronic signals between the camera and the lens. This affects autofocus, auto-exposure, aperture control, and any lens-based stabilization features.
How do I enable shooting without a lens on my MFT camera?
This setting is typically found in the camera's custom settings or setup menu. Look for an option like 'Release Shutter Without Lens' or 'Shoot Without Lens' and set it to 'Enable' or 'On'.
Is this adapter compatible with all Sony A mount lenses?
It is compatible with Sony A mount lenses that physically fit the mount. However, only manual functions like focus and (if present) aperture control will work. Lenses heavily reliant on electronic communication may not be usable.
How does Urth's environmental initiative work?
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Urth products, including this adapter, is used to fund tree-planting projects in areas impacted by deforestation.
Can I use this adapter on Super 35 / APS-C MFT cameras?
Yes, the adapter is designed for the Micro Four Thirds mount, which is standard across MFT cameras, regardless of their sensor size variations within the MFT standard.
Troubleshooting
Camera does not recognize the lens or adapter
Ensure the camera's 'Shoot Without Lens' setting is enabled in the custom menu. Check that the adapter is fully locked into the camera mount and the lens is securely attached to the adapter.
Adapter feels loose or wobbly
Remove the adapter and lens, then reattach them, ensuring both are fully locked into place. Check for any debris on the mounting surfaces that might be preventing a secure fit.
Light leaks around the mount
Inspect the mounting points on both the camera and the adapter for any damage or debris. Ensure the adapter is correctly seated and locked.
Difficulty mounting or dismounting the lens/adapter
Ensure you are aligning the mounting index marks correctly before rotating. Do not force the components; if resistance is met, realign and try again. Check for any obstructions.
