Metabones PL to Sony E-mount T Adapter, Black Matte

Metabones PL to Sony E-mount T Adapter, Black Matte Features

• PL Lens to Sony E-mount Compatibility: The primary function is to enable mounting PL mount cinema lenses onto Sony E-mount camera bodies (such as the Alpha series and FX series).
• Maintains Correct Flange Focal Distance: Precision-engineered to ensure the correct distance between the lens's rear element and the camera's sensor (flange focal distance).
• Robust and Durable Construction: Typically made from high-quality materials like aluminum alloy or stainless steel for durability and a secure connection, essential for supporting often heavy cinema lenses.
• Secure Locking Mechanism: Features a robust locking mechanism (likely a positive lock collar, similar to the PL mount itself) on the PL side to ensure a tight and stable connection with the lens, preventing any unwanted movement.
• No Optical Elements: Generally, this type of basic adapter does not contain any optical elements. Its purpose is purely mechanical adaptation, preserving the original optical characteristics of the lens.
• Manual Operation: PL mount cinema lenses are typically manual lenses with no electronic communication for autofocus or aperture control. This adapter will not provide any electronic communication between the lens and the camera.
• Black Matte Finish: The black matte finish is designed to minimize reflections and stray light, preventing any potential interference with image quality. It also provides a professional and discreet appearance.
• Potential for Shims (Professional Models): Some higher-end or "T Adapters" might include shims for fine-tuning the flange back distance to ensure precise focus calibration, especially important in professional cinema applications.
• Support for Lens Data (Rare/Limited): In some more advanced adapters (though less common for basic PL to E-mount), there might be limited ability to input or pass through basic lens metadata, but this is not a standard feature for purely mechanical adapters.
