It works with my Contax Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 28-85mm F/3.3-4.0. It had focusing auto focusing problems with Contax N Vario-Sonnar 70-300mm F/4-5.6 T* Lens. Other than that I was able to use these lenses again.
It is a momentous occasion for photographers who have invested in the esteemed Carl Zeiss Contax N-Mount lenses, as the Metabones Contax N Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera T Smart Adapter offers a seamless transition to the modern era of mirrorless photography. This adapter is the key to unlocking the potential of your cherished lenses on a new platform, ensuring that the legendary performance of Carl Zeiss optics is not left behind in the digital age.
Crafted with precision, the adapter boasts a robust and durable build, featuring a sleek black satin exterior and a black matte interior designed to reduce internal reflections. Its compact design ensures it is both portable and unobtrusive, making it an essential accessory for photographers on the move.
The adapter's compatibility extends to a range of Sony E-Mount cameras, including the A9, A7R Mark III, A7 Mark III, A7R Mark II, A7 Mark II, A6500, and A6300 models. It enhances the autofocus capabilities of these cameras, delivering a speed that surpasses the original Contax N series AF cameras, while maintaining the precision and quality that photographers expect from their equipment.
For those who appreciate the tactile experience of manual controls, the adapter allows the use of the lens' own aperture ring, providing an experience reminiscent of the original Contax N1 camera. Photographers can enjoy full automatic exposure, aperture priority, manual exposure modes, and shutter priority, ensuring versatility for any shooting scenario.
The adapter also features a customizable button, strategically placed for easy access, which can be programmed with over 50 different functions to suit the photographer's needs. This level of customization, combined with the adapter's thoughtful design, exemplifies Metabones' commitment to functionality and user experience.
Included with the adapter is a tripod foot compatible with Arca-Swiss style quick release systems, adding stability and versatility to your setup. The adapter's firmware is user-upgradable via a micro USB port, demonstrating Metabones' dedication to ongoing support and ensuring that your adapter remains up-to-date with the latest technological advancements.
Furthermore, the adapter facilitates the use of Sony's 5-axis in-body image stabilization (SteadyShot INSIDE) with compatible lenses, compensating for the lack of optical image stabilization in the original Contax lenses. This feature is crucial for capturing sharp, stable images in a variety of shooting conditions.
In summary, the Metabones Contax N Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera T Smart Adapter is an affordable, high-quality solution that breathes new life into your Contax N lenses. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Carl Zeiss optics, allowing photographers to continue to create stunning imagery with their trusted lenses on cutting-edge mirrorless cameras.
