FotodioX B4-SNE-P Overview

The Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter B4 to Sony E Mount allows you to use available lenses that feature a B4 mount to fit on a camera body with a Sony E mount. The B4 mount is traditionally used on lenses designed to work with 2/3" 3-imager sensors. This is a lens mount adapter designed to attach to the lens itself, it is not meant to permanently adapt the mount of the camera. The adapter mounts to the lens and is removable, so you can use one adapter on many different lenses.

The adapter ensures the correct flange focal distance, so your infinity focus is maintained. Featuring Brass construction with a stainless steel finish, this adapter is a strong, durable unit. There is no electronic control of the lens through the adapter, so you need to use a lens that has manual focus and iris capabilities. However, the adapter allows TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering, and when using a lens with the adapter, the camera body should be set to either manual exposure or aperture priority mode.

Maintains correct flange depth between lens and image plane.
Infinity remains unchanged, so the lens does not need to be re-collimated or shimmed.
Brass construction protects lens mount, stainless steel finish makes the adapter corrosion and wear resistant.
Compatible with all Sony Alpha NEX E-mount Camera Bodies, Including:
NEX-3, NEX-5, NEX-C3, NEX-5N, NEX-7, NEX-F3, NEX-5R, ,NEX-6
NEX-VG10, NEX-VG20, NEX-VG30, NEX-VG900, NEX-FS100, NEX-FS700, NEX-EA50

FotodioX B4-SNE-P Reviews

This thing rocks. Ignore the haters.

The people that are complaining about this didn’t understand what they were getting themselves into when they bought a b4 Lens Yes, you’re going to need a doubler. And yes, you’re going to need a double on the back of the B4 Lens (built in). And despite all that duct tape, the images look fantastic. Some of these B4 lenses are truly wonderful. I got a HJ17EX 7.6 canon lens. Looks like vintage 16mm. Anyways, I had to post this because I felt the reviews were so wrong. This company did a great job.

Does not fit Digizoom bayonet

Technical I was eventually able to get the adapter to fit into a Digizoom bayonet mount, but on a table with much fiddling and some extra force used, not something that would be easy or possible to do in the field during a typical lens swap. Consider it a permanent adapter more than a usable B4 mount for your camera.

question

The adapter is 1/2?
Asked by: Anonymous
It is not. This is an adapter that will allow you to use B4 Lenses that are for 2/3 cameras. They do not make such adapters for 1/3 and 1/2 B4 Lenses.

question

is there a lens in it? otherwise it must seriously vignette the picture?
Asked by: Anonymous
No, there is no lens in it. Yes it does seriously vignette the picture. You have to use a lens on x2 and not go fully wide.

question

Has anyone used it with an FS7 with the current firmware which includes the 2K centercrop? And what have been your findings?
Asked by: Jeremy R.
It works on fs5 & fs7 in the centercrop mode. I'm using it with Fujinon 15x9 with the 2x engaged. In the lens 1x mode it has partial usage. Additional zoom is still available through Sony clear image zoom function. Useful range is about 20 feet plus with the 15x9.The other option is the MTF Services adapter at about $1895. It has lens correction and allows you to operate without using the center scan mode at a lower zoom ratio. Hope that helps.
