FAQs

Will my Sony A mount lens autofocus with this adapter?

No, this is a manual adapter. All electronic functions, including autofocus, are not supported. You will need to focus manually.

Can I control the aperture of my lens with this adapter?

No, aperture control is also disabled. You will need to adjust the aperture manually on the lens itself, if your lens has an aperture ring. If the lens does not have an aperture ring, it will likely remain at its widest aperture.

Is this adapter compatible with all Sony A mount lenses?

Yes, it is designed to work with all Sony A mount lenses, but please remember that electronic functionalities will not work.

What is the adapter made of?

The adapter is constructed from hardened aluminum and copper with an anti-reflection matte finish.

Does the adapter come with a warranty?

Yes, the adapter is backed by Urth's lifetime warranty.

How do I clean the adapter?

Gently clean the mounting surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using any liquids or harsh chemicals.

Can I use this adapter on any Leica L mount camera?

Yes, this adapter is designed for any camera with a Leica L mount.

Troubleshooting

Adapter feels loose or wobbly

Ensure the adapter is fully rotated and locked into the camera mount. Check for any debris on the mounting surfaces that may be preventing a snug fit. Re-mount the adapter carefully.

Light leaks are present

The adapter may not be fully seated on the camera body or lens. Remove and re-mount both the adapter to the camera and the lens to the adapter, ensuring a firm and secure connection. Check for any damage to the adapter's mounting rings.

Focusing is difficult or inaccurate

This is expected as the adapter disables electronic functions. Practice manual focusing using your camera's live view or focus peaking features. Ensure you are using the focus distance scale on the lens if available.

Cannot mount lens or adapter

Verify that you are using the correct lens mount (Sony A) and camera mount (Leica L). Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the mounting mechanism. Do not force the connection; if resistance is met, check alignment.
