Description of ๐Ÿ“ธ Enhance Your Sony NEX E Camera: DSLRKIT Metal E-Mount Replacement for A7, A7R, A7RII, A5100, A6000, A6300

Full Metal, to improve issues that easy to wear and breakage about the original plastic bayonet. Applicable models: Sony E-mount series: A7 / A7R / A7RII / A6300 / A6000 / A5100 / A5000 / NEX-3 / NEX-5 / NEX-3C / NEX-5N / NEX-7 / NEX-F3 / NEX-5R / NEX-6 / NEX- VG10 / NEX-VG20 / NEX-VG30 / NEX-VG900 / NEX-FS100 / NEX-FS700 / NEX-EA50 etc. Note: Sony E-mount A7S / A7II have metal mount, without replacement. Bayonet precision machining does not hurt the lens.

The lenses don't fit. Best Adapters and Converters

This adapter is metal and looks really nice but doesn't look like it's made properly. I could have a Sony 24-70 on the camera if I could. It was very crowded. However, my Metabones adapter for Canon lenses absolutely would not fit no matter what. It was significantly cheaper than the Fotodiox adapter, so I gave it a try. I sent it back and now have to buy a much more expensive adapter.

Pros
  • Good Thing
Cons
  • Some Bugs

So I'm happy with that

Really can't buy at this price. My new Zeiss 24-70mm f/4 lens is a bit heavier than other lenses I've used and wobbled a little too much if I found it to my liking. This fixed the issue to a degree, but there's still a little circular wobble if that makes sense. I've heard that other replacement parts are a little thicker and eliminate the entire game, but they're also $50 so I'm happy with that.

Pros
  • Everything's great!
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Fixes Sony A6000 + 18-135mm zoom rotation play

Likes: - This metal bracket completely eliminates rotation play on my Sony A6000 when rotating the rather tight Sony E 18-135 zoom ring. With the original Sony plastic mount, I feel a slight click when I quickly turn the zoom ring on the Sony E 18-135 left or right. While the game didn't affect the image quality, it was annoying! - 19mm and 30mm Sigma E-mount lenses that have no play on the original Sony plastic mount still fit perfectly, not tighter or weaker, on the Sony A6000 with metalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • too blunt

Best aluminum camera and photo mount

Received this today and was surprised at how light it is. It's not brass or copper like most other fasteners. I admit my mistake in assuming it will be brass when it doesn't say anywhere. Judging by the weight, it's aluminum. I'm not sure what the Sony A7 bracket OEM metal part is, but I don't think it's aluminum. The whole point of the swap is to remove the plastic part of the mount and use a stronger metal to make the lens mount more secure. I don't have a lot of faith in it and right nowโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • So far so good

chewing gum it works! Used on A7r

My expectations were low. I understand that there are issues with mass processing something like this, and at this price point, there's more likely to be inconsistency. But the installation went smoothly and everything seems to be working fine. There is still some play in the lens, but much less than before, and all the problems that come with it. The nightmare could be over! The screwdriver that came with it worked great. I'll update this review if necessary after taking the camera for a walk.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Speed

Fixed problem with my camera.

When I was on vacation recently my camera bag fell off the table top and ended up messing up my camera's lens alignment. Whenever I took a photo afterwards, the left side of the photo was blurry compared to the right side of the image. I thought I would have to buy a new camera. Then one fine day I realized that the metal bracket can be easily removed. Just four screws. And when I took it off I noticed that the bracket underneath was just plastic and that part was damaged. This new mount Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Sad gear

nothing extraordinary just good

assembly has advantages and disadvantages. Build quality seems ok, nothing special just ok, at least better than the a6000. Perhaps some of the more expensive options could have had a better finish. I was by no means impressed with the quality, again, it's just ok. The packaging is a small box with a useless screwdriver. I couldn't use it, it just kept bending, I had to use a different screwdriver. There are no instructions, but it is not necessary, everything is very simple. The mounted mountโ€ฆ

Pros
  • handy piece
Cons
  • Style 90
