Designed specifically with Cine lenses in mind (works with all EF mount lenses!), the Cine Edition adapters from Fotodiox were built to mimic the breech-lock cine style cameras that those lenses are designed for. The biggest advantage of using an adapter with a breech-lock mounting mechanism is that they have a very solid connection, reduce friction and wear & tear on the lens. The addition of the removeable tripod foot on the adapter itself, eliminates possible flex or bobble from the camera mount side of the adapter when using a gear drive (manual follow focus or focus motors).
The FUSION technology built into the adapter enables electronic communication, powered by your camera, between mixed lens and camera platforms enabling auto focus, aperture control, image stabilization, EXIF and aperture data to be transmitted to and controlled by the camera and more. Manual lenses can still be used by turning off electronic communication with the Function button.
Compatible with E-Mount Cameras (such as):
* a1, a7 II/III/IV, a7C, a7R II/III/IV/V, a7S II/III, a9 I/II
* a6100, a6300, a6400, a6500, a6600
* FX30, FX3, FX6, FX9, FS7 II, FS5 II
Notes:
* The CINE mount rotates until snug with no defined stopping point. Turn until tight, loosen by turning the opposite way. Make sure to tighten sufficiently but do not turn too far or it will fall off as this is how PL-style mounts function.
* Not all EF lenses will perform the same depending on Lens firmware, focusing motors, age of lens and manufacturer.
* Fusion ability is designed to work best on E-Mount cameras that were released 2016 or later (such as the α7 II, α7R II, α7 III, α7R III cameras).
* For firmware updates and directions, please see firmware article for this adapter in the Fotodiox knowledge base.
