Got Canon glass but digging the new tech in the popular Sony mirrorless cameras? Do you want that “full-frame look” with an APS-C format Sony camera? Now you can use your beloved Canon lenses on a Sony E-mount APS-C camera with the new Vello Accelerator AF Lens Adapter, available in late May, 2016.
With this new adapter, you have fewer excuses to transition to the Sony mirrorless system. Its sturdy build allows you to mount your Canon lenses on an APS-C Sony E-mount mirrorless camera body (or full-frame Sony E-mount in the crop mode) and retain complete automatic functionality, including auto exposure, autofocus, and aperture control. Exif data will also transfer.
Using a four-element, four-group optical design, the lens’s angle of view is increased by 0.71x, which effectively negates the crop factor of APS-C format cameras while simultaneously increasing the maximum aperture of your lens by a full stop. For example, you can mount your full-frame Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens onto the Sony E-Mount APS-C camera and the Vello mount will allow you to shoot a field of view very near the 50mm focal length, while offering an effective maximum aperture of f/1.0.
Image stabilization is also supported and will work with Sony’s in-body stabilization systems. Metal construction ensures long-term durability, while a matte-black interior works to prevent unwanted flare and reflections, for optimal image quality. An integrated tripod foot with the standard ¼"-20 socket can be used when mounting heavy lenses on your mirrorless camera body, to eliminate stress on the camera’s lens mount.
With the Vello Accelerator AF Lens Adapter, full-frame and APS-C format image making have never been more closely aligned, allowing you to expand your shooting capabilities to new dimensions.
