Product Information

Full details

This guide is for photographers looking to expand their creative options by using legacy Sony A (Minolta AF) mount lenses on modern Sony E mount cameras. The key benefit is access to a vast range of older, often high-quality lenses at a lower cost. A caveat is that this is a manual adapter, requiring manual focus and exposure adjustments. It offers a secure, light-tight connection between lenses and cameras, allowing for new photographic perspectives.

FAQs

Can I use autofocus with this adapter?

No, this is a manual adapter. Autofocus and auto-exposure functions are not supported. You will need to adjust focus and exposure manually on the lens and camera.

Will this adapter work with all Sony E mount cameras?

Yes, this adapter is designed to work with all Sony E mount camera bodies, including full-frame and APS-C models.

Do I need to set anything on my camera?

Yes, you will need to set your camera to manual shooting mode (`M`) or aperture priority mode (`A`). You will also need to enable 'Shoot Without Lens' or a similar setting in your camera's menu.

How do I adjust the aperture?

If your Sony A mount lens has an aperture ring, you can adjust it directly on the lens. If the lens does not have an aperture ring, you will need to use a compatible lens that does, or rely on the camera's exposure settings.

Is this adapter electronic?

No, this adapter is purely mechanical. It does not transmit any electronic signals between the lens and the camera.

What is the adapter made of?

The adapter is precision-machined from hardened aluminum and copper for durability and a secure fit.

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

The lifetime guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Please refer to Urth's warranty policy for full details.

Troubleshooting

Adapter is difficult to attach or remove

Ensure there are no obstructions in the camera mount or adapter. Check for dirt or debris on the mounting surfaces. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Lens seems loose on the adapter

Re-seat the lens onto the adapter, ensuring it clicks securely into place. Check the lens mount for damage. If the lens is still loose, the lens mount itself may be worn.

Camera does not recognize the lens (no electronic communication)

This is expected behavior for a manual adapter. Ensure you are using your camera in manual exposure mode (`M`) or aperture priority mode (`A`), and adjust focus manually.

Light leaks around the lens or adapter

Carefully re-attach the lens and adapter, ensuring a snug fit. Check the edges of the lens and adapter for any damage or warping that might prevent a complete seal.
