C/Y Adapter for NEX

I'm by no means a professional photographer so take this with caution. I used it to adapt the Yashica ML lens to the Sony A6000. My first thoughts after using it for the first 2 weeks are generally good, but there are a few gripes. The adapter itself is solid, holding it in your hands you can tell it's an all-aluminum construction. Attaching the adapter to the camera was easy and adding a lens was a breeze. This is a basic adapter, so there's no autofocus, image stabilization, or extra adjustment rings. This is not my criticism but I will add that in moderation. My criticism is that there is a small gap between the adapter and the camera body. There's a small gap, I mean small, between the camera body and the adapter. It's not a big deal and I didn't notice any light leaks, but it does cause a slight shake. For reference, the distance between the lens and the adapter is approximately the thickness of a sheet of printer paper. Image quality depends on the lens itself, but it takes time to learn how to use a manual focus lens. A test photo was taken to ensure accuracy. The toy was mounted at 4ft and was shot at f3.5 using a 75mm lens with a 4ft focus mark on the lens. All in all I would buy this adapter again, I think it's great if you want to breathe new life into an old lens.

Pros
  • Adapters and adapters
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
