Can I use the beercan on a nex5 with an AF adapter
891794
Also bear in mind the beercan is a massive lens that will outweigh the camera by a lot and it will have no stabilization

Yes. The AF assist light works. The FOV of the flash changes with zoom. I don't think there is any feature of the flash that does not work with the EM-5. It can be used as a remote slave but I have not tried it as a remote master.If you want it to work on more than Channel A you can get the AF50, which works on all 4 channels.

Dear Rachelle, I have the same camera (NEX5) and it's needs, but I do not see the E-mount here. It means we (NEX-owners) are needing something like LAEA1 Mount Adaptor ;)

You will need the Sony ADP-MAA adapter. It will work in ADI and TTL mode. Sometimes you need to cycle power on the NEX if the flash isn't recognized (best to install with camera powered off). The Metz 36 AF-5 doesn't have a remote trigger or manual output settings, so it would only work well on a remote cable. Yongnuo 560 II would be a better remote strobe.

Not sure about the A7 but this does work fine with the converter on the NEX5, which is also a compact camera. Hope this helps.

You need a adapter -sony sells two but don't do it they are slow. I use the Sony E-Mount 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 on my 5N It was a heavey video lens not designed for the nex but it's my favorite.I also used it on my Nex 3 before they came out with the smaller Nex len 55-210 that is over priced junk by the way-theres also the zeiss Sony SEL2470Z FE 24-70mm f/4 Lens"very spendy" both of these weight a lot but great on the Nex

Yes. I usually use the mount on the adapter because it sticks down below the camera making the built in mount on my Nex-5N harder to access.

You can purchase a Sony LA-EA1 or LA-EA2 adapter for true A mount to E mount cameras. Sony has also released a version LA-EA3 and LA-EA4 but not sure on true compatability for your Nex6.

The Fotasy was instantly compatable with the nex 6 e-mount no special adaptor required, just turn the lens clock wise and it fit very good some reviews said it was hard to screw in I did not see that. No extra adaptor is required.

The one I own is the proprietary shoe for Sony, so I needed an adapter to use on my nex 6. Didn't know this when I ordered either as Amazon said compatible with the nex6. Nice unit all the same.

The answer is "Yes", but avoid it anyway. I bought this adapter to use my favorite Nikon lens on my Nex 5. I ignored the warnings on this site that it's impossible to remove the lens from the adapter without damaging the lens! As a result, my favorite Nikon lens became a permanent Nex lens. I don't mind because I no longer used my Nikon cameras -- but if you want to ever take the adapter off and use your lens on your Nikon, forget it -- it's NOT coming off, period. There are better adapters, trust me. Do NOT buy this one.

I'm planning on getting the A6000 later year but I'm gonna guess yes as my nex5 will fit with the OLED viewer attached.

I am using mine with an Alpha A 65 and it works well. I believe it works with the Nex 6 as well.

The Nex 6 has a standard hot shoe I think. This adapter is made for older Next models that used Sony's proprietary hot shoe. You shouldn't need an adapter for the Nex 6 and a standard remote trigger should work.

Your camera has an EF mount; so it will work. It won't work with the AF mounts.

Yes. The lens fits all alpha cameras (from the old Minolta to the new A99, including all A models). It would not fit the NEX camera line without an adapter.

Have tried to use adapter with Sony nex5. Purchased the Nikon adapter and even though lenses connect OK the nex 5 keeps saying put lens on correctly. tried the only way it can go and nothing seems to change it. help.
