It works, but you have to change the camera settings

Because the adapter does not provide an electrical signal between the camera and lens, you need to tell the Sony camera to release the shutter. This can be done in the following way. Set the mode dial to Manual (M). Set the "Release without lens" option in the camera menu to "Enable". Set Shutter Lock to Off: No Lens in the camera menu. very good but it should come with instructions as I was very confused the first 2 nights I tried it.

Pros
  • A must-have accessory for those who use the astroscope for digiscoping. This is a camera adapter for direct (prime focus) photography with an SLR camera and projection photography through the eyepiece.
Cons
  • -

Wrongly made and too heavy

First of all it is literally FOUR times heavier than my other adapter: 66g vs. 254g! See photo showing this Gosky item on the right with the same mount from another manufacturer on the left If this was actually made for your camera you wouldn't need an adjustable part that doubles the weight To make matters worse, that this e-mount adapter doesn't fit an e-mount camera, it's the right adapter but it's not made right. I could force it, but why? The customer shouldn't repeat what they paid for.

Pros
  • Fits all standard 1.25" astro telescopes and fits filters (threads in the tube).
Cons
  • No instructions

Universal accessory

2020-04 -28 (dated because I'm planning an update) Just used this adapter for the first time and impressions are very favourable. Solidly built from metal. Everything was a perfect match for my ETX 125 scope and my Sony a6000 camera. The e-mount adapter fits my a6000 perfectly, snug but not too tight, very similar to the fit of a regular e-mount lens. The extension tube adds a degree of flexibility that they should really state in the description. Not only does it allow for limited, albeit…

Pros
  • Suitable for Sony NEX (E-mount - including NEX, A7 and VG series). Suitable for all SONY cameras (E-mount) including: A7, A7S, A7R, A7R II, A7S II etc. and (APS-C models) NEX 3, NEX 3n, NEX5, NEX 5n, NEX 5nk, NEX 5R, NEX 6, NEX 7, NEX 7k, NEX C3, NEX C3k, NEX F3, a5000, a5100, a3000, a6000, a7000 etc. Also Sony Handycam VG10, VG20, VG30, VG900 etc.
Cons
  • Not bad
