question

Can the adapter be used to turn non-Laowa EF-mount lenses on Sony FE mount cameras?
Asked by: Michael
Any EF-mount lens can be used with this converter. There are no electronics in the converter, so the lens needs to support manual focus and aperture.

question

So if I have the 12mm Laowa EF Sony Lens - can I use this or do I have to have the Canon version??
Asked by: Elton
You can have Laowa switch your lens from FE mount to Canon EF mount in order to use this adapter. I believe they offer mount switching services.
