Review on ๐Ÿ“ท VILTROX EF-E5 Lens Adapter for Sony E Mount: Seamless Compatibility for Canon EF/EF-S Lenses on Sony E Mount Cameras a7II, a7, a6500, a6300 by Ada Marcinkowska แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Took for Tamron 35-150mm f2.8-4 complete with Sony A7C. Earlier I wrote that there was a problem with working in the cold (the adapter rebooted and did not turn on); So, after ating the firmware, the problem disappeared. Also, I wiped the contacts with isopropyl alcohol on the advice of some people from some forums, but I donโ€™t know if it helped. After the ate, there were small artifacts. For example, the adapter does not always wake up after the camera goes into sleep mode, sometimes it does not start when the camera is turned on, but most of the time it works stably. After ating the firmware, tracking autofocus has started to work, and even clings to the eyes. The photo below is an example of the conditions under which I tested the adapter with the new firmware.

  • Sometimes smears in bad light, but maybe it's the lens.
