The Canon EF to Sony FZ T CINE Smart Adapter from Metabones allows a Canon EF or EF-S mount lens to be mounted onto a Sony FZ-mount camera, including the F5, and F55. It features precision-machined, chromium-plated brass mounting surfaces on both the lens and camera sides. The adapter is designed to support electronic communication between the camera and lens, allowing image stabilization as well as camera-controlled aperture functions. It also features an assignable function button. If an attached lens is also capable of generating EXIF metadata, the adapter passes that information for the camera to record in its metadata stream.
The adapter features a locking EF mount, providing a sturdy, wiggle-free, solid attachment of the lens to your camera. Just forward of the locking ring is a large cine-style geared iris control ring, which allows you to control the iris of your lens manually if you wish. In addition to the communication to allow your lens to work with an FZ mount camera, the adapter also allows the lens information to be displayed in the camera's viewfinder. The adapter uses the camera to power the lens, and does not require an additional power source. Internal flocking reduces the chance of internal reflections, which can degrade your image.

Metabones MB_EF-FZ-BT1 Overview
This CINE Smart adapter allows you to mount a Canon EF mount lens on a camera with a Sony FZ mount, which includes the Sony F5, and F55. The adapter does not contain optics, which means that there is no aperture compensation or image adjustment when using full frame lenses on your camera.
The adapter passes electronic information between your camera and lenses, preserving the electronic function of your lens, except for autofocus. This allows you to utilize in-lens image stabilization (if supported by your lens), auto iris control, lens EXIF info recorded in the camera's metadata, and display of lens information in the camera's viewfinder.
The cine-style geared Iris ring on the adapter allows you to manually control the iris, if you wish, or use an optional lens motor to drive the iris.
The adapter features numerical iris markings that are clear and easy to read. As the adapter allows you to control the iris electronically both manually or by using the camera controls. When working with lenses that have variable apertures as their zoom length changes, the adapter can maintain the aperture you set on the lens as you zoom out (provided you are not shooting wide open).
The lens mount side of the adapter features a locking EF mount that is stronger than and less prone to wobble than the standard EF mount. Both mounting surfaces of the adapter are made from precision-machined brass that has been plated with chromium for a hard finish that is resistant to wear.

Mostly good

This adapter works great for most EF lenses, however, the Canon 18-80mm servo zoom doesn't fit properly. After you lock the lens in, the lens still moves which means it will detach from the adapter if you rotate it enough. This can be remedied by using a screw in lens support adapter but if the lens moves just a little (which it will) the electronics from the lens with loose contact with the adapter. It's very frustrating. However, it has worked flawlessly with my Canon EF still lenses. Lastly, it's not the easiest adapter to line up the red dot on the adapter and the red dot on the EF lenses so you may have to fiddle with it a little for the contacts to line up. Overall, a useful adapter unless you're using the Canon 18-80mm T4.4 lens.
Works well, a little heavy.

Works great. I used the Optitek FZ - EF mount before this. This model is heavier and extends from camera body a little more than Optitek. Love the iris wheel. Pins on lens and adapter have to match up to power lens which doesn't always happen. Works well with Canon L series 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 and 50mm lenses.

question
Does this mount work with TAMRON SP DI VC USD? I have the 24-70mm 2.8 and the 15-30mm 2.8? Thanks.
We have not tested this combination but see no reason it would not work. With Metabones products, be careful to properly line up the lens, the adapter and the camera. Do not be surprised if there is tightness. Be careful and everything should be fine. If you are not satisfied, you have a 30 days return policy with B&H.

question
Does this adapter cause a crop factor with EF lenses?
This fine adapter does not cause a crop factor but the sensor of the camera it is used on does. That Super35 sensor has an approximately 1.6 crop factor from full frame. Moving forward, I recommend learning that in Super35, a 35mm lens gives a normal perspective and to extrapolate wide and tele lenses from there. Then you can drop calculating what the lens looks like in a format you are not using.

question
Will this adapter work with the Canon 18-80 T4.4 EF, mainly the IS?I have an Optitek and it powers the lens, but not the IS.
While that lens and this adapter is a unknown to us combination, our opinion is it should work as intended.
