If you want to use your existing PL mount lenses on a camera with a Sony E mount, you need an adapter. The Metabones MBPL-E-BM1 PL to E-Mount Adapter mounts to your camera's lens port and allows you to use PL mount lenses with your camera. Although this is not a permanent conversion, the adapter features a removable support foot to take the strain off of your camera's E mount.
The adapter features Chromium-plated brass front and rear contact surfaces for corrosion resistance and to retain the adapter's tight tolerances over time maintaining the correct flange focal distance. This is a mechanical adapter that does not pass any electronic lens control or metadata.
The support foot is detachable from the mount by removing two hex key screws. The foot itself is Arca Swiss compatible, and incorporates a 1/4"-20 threaded mounting hole for optional supports.
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, a chromium satin finish makes the adapter corrosion and wear resistant.
