- Adapts Canon FD Lens to Sony NEX Camera
One of the most appealing aspects of small mirrorless cameras like the Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5 is the availability of a wide range of interchangeable lenses, including non-Sony lenses. This Novoflex Adapter for Canon FD Lens to Sony NEX Camera makes it possible to mount a Canon FD lens to your NEX-3 or NEX-5 camera with a precision mechanical adapter. Such an adapter does not transfer functions from the camera to the lens, such as auto focus, but automatic exposure metering (stop-down metering/aperture priority) is possible. The lens will focus to infinity using this adapter.

question
Hi! I'm thinking of buying a this adapter and use it on a Sony A7r and make use of my fathers old FD lenses. Will there be step down in aperture or focal length or will (for example) a 50/1.4 still be a 50/1.4 and render 100% of the sensor area on the A7?
The Novoflex Adapter for Canon FD Lens to Sony NEX Camera will not affect the focal length or aperture of a lens. A 50mm f/1.4 FD lens would cover the entire sensor for the a7 and a7R, and as those are full frame cameras, the lens will have the same angle of view as when shot on a Canon FD mount 35mm film SLR.

Will this adapter allow use of Canonflex R mount lenses on Alpha-7? Do any modifications need to be made to mount R lenses?
It is only for FD mount lenses, not the Canonflex R lenses. Unfortunately we do not sell any adapters for the Canonflex lenses.
