question

Could you clarify how aperture control will work using this adapter with a Carl Zeiss Jena 135, 3.5? Specifically, if I stop down the lens on the barrel will the lens remain wide open for focus and then stop down automatically on releasing the shutter? And will I be able to control the aperture from the camera, or only on the lens?Thanks in advance.Nick

That adapter for M 42 mount lenses: how that works is you can only adjust the f/stop from the lens. It will not be automatic so it will be very dark in the finder. You will need to open up the lens to see through the camera. And then change the f/stop to the setting you want before you take the shot. This is all done from the lens.

question

Ive found that this adapter makes a slightly greater field of view when comparing focal length of the same lens on full frame 35mm without adapter. Can you confirm that this is normal?
Asked by: Jason
Something does not add up. When you take a lens from a full frame camera and put it on a APS-C camera, the FOV becomes narrower. So that we may best assist you, please email us at [email protected].

question

Hello! Does this Function with sony A7 Full Frame Camera without vignetting? I appreciate your time and patience. Thank you!
Asked by: Federico M.
I purchased this to use with my Sony A7 and am using it with my old Pentax screw mount lenses, 28mm and 135mm. There is no vignetting that I can see. Of course, you will need to manually focus and set your aperture and shutter speed.
