Nowadays, as the number of people using interchangeable lens digital cameras increases, proprietary combinations of camera lenses and bodies are no longer able to satisfy the increasingly sophisticated demands of the many photography enthusiasts. The use of lens adapters have given users full rein of customizing their equipment to best fulfill their needs through different combinations of lenses and camera bodies.  However, although individual camera manufacturers havecreated their own customized adapters, combining lenses and camera bodies of different manufacture has become an ever expanding challenge. At KIPON, a world-renown camera adapter manufacturer, we have developed over 400 types of adapters. With our various adapters, we offer our users the freedom and compatibility of lenses and camera bodies that transcends different times and manufacturers. We have made possible not only the interchangeable use of products across brands but also the use of traditional film lenses.  KIPON offers a full line of camera lens adapters including macro adapters, electronic adapters, adapters with integrated glass, optical focal reduction adapters, adapters with built in aperture control, tilt/shift adapters, tilt adapters, and shift adapters.  The KIPON BAVEYES EOS-NEX AF 0.7x mounts Canon EOS EF series lenses on Sony NEX series mirrorless camera bodies. Please note that after mounting the adapteronly manual focus will be accessible when shooting. The adapter has an additional feature of automatic focusing. This adapter, designed by German optics research institution IB/E OPTICS, can mount full frame lenses on APS-C frame camera bodies.There are four pieces of optical customized multi-layer coated glass within the adapter.  With the optical focal reduction adapter, when the full frame lens is mounted on the APS-C frame camera body, the crop factor is negated and you can get a full view filed though the lens. This solves the issue of edge cracking in photos caused by adapter without optical glasses and allows for sharper images. The image will also be much brighter due to an increased concentration of light,equal to one stop more aperture value for a typical lens for the same aperture value. This increase is more obvious when the lens aperture value is less than 2.  All KIPON adapters undergo the CNC turning center procedure during manufacturing to provide our customers with only the utmost precision and quality. We guarantee an ideal fitting between cameras and lenses to maintain the ease and accuracy of photography. All adapters are made of brass and/or aluminum alloy.  Please note that not all camera models and lenses are compatible with this adapter. Please take extra care when attempting to use any adapter with wide angle and fisheye lenses. Please contact our lens specialists if you have any questions regarding compatibility.

This is a beautiful piece of equipment, the ND wheel controller on top is so smooth, I love it. Love the fact that I can pop in any other filer so easily. The built feels very pro and rugged. I use it with my Zeiss Otus 1.4 55. Using the ND, it allows me to shoot wide open all the time!

I never! write reviews! but for this I had to.

It is not as good as Novoflex in touch and handling, and tightness and optical quality. But it is better than Fotodiox.

It material higher quality than other consumer product such as Vello or KF concept. It works fine using manual lens wonderfully. 
It good quality product in such low price..

Quality product works great

In my experience, was imposible make the infinite focus with my A6300 and my EF cine lens. The adapter dont have a comand to adjust the infinite.

Problems in the infinite focus

I like it but am not recommending it. 
   
It suffers all the famous limitations of such adapters and for most users thaz a real deal breaker. I am not "most users" and find the device to be of decent build and good optics. AF performance varies depending on choice of lens and camera body. It does NOT activate the IS in the Canon lenses that I've tried to use on it. It has - AT BEST - acceptable 'medium-slow" AF that is accurate and therefor more convenient than MF but not actually faster. At worst it has no AF.   
   
But it does double the light transmission of Canon lenses and provide the full FF FoV shrunken onto an APSC sensor. All the 
other electronics couple properly ... aperture, FL info, exif, etc. 
    
I don't recommend it if "recommend" means I'm saying it will "answer your prayers" in the hellish world of EF-to-Emount adapters. But I do suggest you try it out and see whether it's a keeper or not. NO ONE should EVER be reticent or feel even slightly embarrassed to return an EF-to-E adapter. All the sellers know this is a bad shoot and we should thank them for not just staying totally clear of all such merchandise.

Like it but not recommending it.

I am using it with a 200mm Canon 200mm lens.  So far I have found out that it hunts a lot while trying to focus.  When it does focus it is okay.  I usually just go to manual when it struggles.  I am getting another brand to compare it to.  For me right now it is just okay.  I was hoping for better.

Kinda works

Great product for the price. Thinner than the fotodiox a good in between from the metabones.

I can't mount my sigma ART ! Difficult to mount and Lenses are blocked, impossible to make focus, even in manuel focus ...

:-(

Can't use my SIGMA ART ! (24,35,50mm) !!!

Adapter works well with the Sony A6300 with a couple exceptions.  It doesn't work in movie mode at all.   In photo mode it autofocuses but only the middle section not the entire field.  Significant vignetting on the edges using a Canon 300 2.8 II lens.  Still worth it because how fast the A6300 focuses.

Works well except!!

For infinity issue?light go through the lens and project on the sensor?infinity is no problem?but when you put a filter between the lens and sensor?the focus point would be offset about thickness x1/3?thickness of our ND filter is 1mm?two ND filters?so would be 2mmx1/3=0.75mm?

so when insert variable ND?infinity is ok?when pull out ND filters?cannot reach infinity.

this is noted it in manual instruction

great adapter

The Kipon Baveyes focal reducer represents an advance over its closest competitor from Metabones. There is no edge softening even wide open and it focuses to infinity without any needed adjustment. I have not tried it with non-Canon full frame lenses. There is a USB port presumably for firmware updates but the complete lack of documentation in the package prevents confirmation of this. All in all, a solid performer.
