![]() One caveat here is worth mentioning – whilst all of these lenses are compatible with FS7 series cameras, A7S series cameras are not compatible with all of them as they have a full-frame sensor.Įssentially, the Sony FS7 and FS7 Mk II have Super-35 coverage, whereas the Sony A7S Mk I and Mk II achieve full frame coverage. Electronic lens control (where appropriate) is also more responsive, since there is no electronic conversion process which occurs.įull Frame and S-35 coverage for E-Mount Lenses.Ensures a solid lens fit without the play introduced when using lens adaptors.Avoiding a lens adaptor make the camera system shorter.Happily, there is a 3 rd option and that is to use lenses with native E-mounts – these fit directly to the camera body avoiding using a lens adaptor. Metabones electronic EF to E mount adapterĪnother issue is that using lens adaptors introduces inherently more ‘play’ in the lenses, since the lens being used will have 3 x separate mounting points to the camera, rather than just 1 when using a native lens mount. ![]() These work well and allow EF lenses to be fitted to E mount camera and the user is able to manually ride the iris (or control the iris from the camera) but users frequently claim that iris control is not as responsive as using manual lenses or cameras with native EF mounts. Since the majority of EF lenses are electronic and often are devoid of an iris ring (iris control is controlled via the camera body on EF cameras), so users have little option but to use the now-familiar Metabones series lens adaptors. ![]() However, using EF lenses with an E-mount camera can be less responsive. With an E-mount camera like the Sony FS7, using a PL adaptor does not pose any problems, since all PL lenses are manual lenses by design (the /i data is not compatible with adaptors) and the adaptor is simply metalwork. Using Lens Adaptors – PL and EF lenses with FS7 *note that since 2019, the Panasonic EVA 1 is now available with a PL mount option. Seen in this light, an E mount is actually quite versatile. The Panasonic EVA 1*, Canon 5D series cameras, Canon ME20 super low light camera and many Black Magic cameras others ONLY make cameras with a native EF mount. Panasonic EVA-1 camera has a native E mount. ![]() This is a great advantage, since there are an enormous range of EF and PL lenses available today, all of which are compatible to use giving a huge choice to choose from. Sony FX-9 cameras have a native E mount, unlike the Blackmagic cameras which are native EF – The native E mount cameras (Sony FS7, A7S Mk III etc) are compatible with both EF and PL adaptors to allow both EF mount and PL lenses to be used. – Native EF mount cameras are NOT compatible with PL adaptors (C300, 5D, Blackmagic). Without going into the boring bits about image sensor compatibilities and available space to sensor to permit multiple lens options etc, the important thing here to note is that: APS-C format represents the image size, which is very comparable to Super-35 and is independent of lens mount, though this is often used with E Mount lenses.įor easy reading, I shall refer to this mount as an E-mount, rather than calling it an E-Mount/APS-C/Sony α Mount. In case you are confused with the naming convention, there is no difference between E Mounts or Sony α Mount and as these are all different names for the same mount.
