Great! Yep, I bought it on Friday and picked it up in the store the same day. So far loving it! By the way, is there any workaround to display camera info (aperture, shutter speed, exposure meter etc etc.) on the external monitor while recording in 4K? It works absolutely fine in 1080p. I thought it was an issue only with the lower end Sony cameras like the A6300. E.g. my Panasonic GH5s displays all the info on the external monitor, which is super useful while you are shooting yourself outdoors and lighting keeps changing.
So does it autofocus a Nikon F lens if its attached to Fotodiox Pro Pronto? You seem to be alluding to it but the end scene was only taken with Leica M. Because it that works, that really cool since I have a bunch of old manual focus F mount lenses
Very very good video you do talk kind of fast but excellent video would like to see some of the shots that you got and see what other kind of lenses you would use with that adapter
Hello I have a Zeiss 85mm 1.4z A mount lens want to use on Sony e mount without the la ea5 or ea4 because of the light loss and at not compatible with a7r iii for autofocus can I use the adapter and adapt a Leica m mount to my a mount Zeiss and then attach it to this and get autofocus?
you briefly allude the vignetting issue...how bad ? is there any diiferences between full frame versus crop sensor of the sony ? after cropping down mode deploys, are there any hint of vignette left or completely gone ? from samples you post, it seems awsome to me...
Realistically, vignetting is not so much a problem from the adapter but would more so from the lens you use. I didn't see a difference between full frame and cropped mode.
Hi I inspired by your video and bought sony a7ii, now I don't find m42 to sony FE (full frame)ADOPTER ANY WHERE in the world Did you mean i can directly attach m42 lns on (leica m) mount?
I can’t say for certain because I stopped using this setup when I sold my M mount lenses but if I remember correctly, it was either very poor or unusable with video if you want autofocus.
From my experience, no. Video AF was close to useless but I have seen others use this adapter for video so perhaps they were just using it as a dummy adapter. User experience may also vary.
Can you plz make a video or tell me about the eye autofocusing with this adapter with the latest firmware update 6.0. I have a sony a7iii, so can i get eye autofocus with that camera and samyang cine ds manual lenses for canon mount. I will use a canon to leica m mount adapter with this adapter. Will i get the eyeautofocus?
@@HaiTran Still watching...but now that I have you here, I have a SERIOUS problem maybe you can help me with? On holiday, I picked up a sony a6400, but soon found out when I got back to the usa that it was the japanese version ONLY. Do you know, or might you know a hack/firmware that can get me the english menu? I know it has it for the brother/cousin cameras, but not the a6400 , any intel?
I don't own the camera so have no exact answer. Aside from a Gooogle search, I got nothing. In the past, you can hack the camera through the Sony Play Memories App Store and change the language but Sony got rid of that after the 2nd generation cameras.
From manufacturer website: Camera Compatibility: Cameras with Phase Detection AF such as: • Sony Alpha α6300, α6500 • Sony Alpha α7 II, α7R II, α9 * The PRONTO adapter supports AF-S and AF-C focusing. You can change the Focus Area from Wide to Center or Flexible Spot (S/M/L). Decreasing the focus area comes with a significant reduction in speed and may produce some focus hunting. Face detection is also supported. * We do NOT recommend using with Contrast Detection AF only cameras (i.e. Sony NEX, α6000, Sony α7, Sony α7R, Sony α7S, Sony α7Sii, etc)
That's something that you should contact the manufacturer about. The information that I gave you was just copied from their website. I'm not the author and can't go into detail about it.
it isnt actually as hard as people think!
thanks for shiarng this video with us!
really really enjoyed watching another great video of yours
Thanks for the continued support 👍
Awesome video man! So... I just pulled the trigger... I just bought the Sony A7 III and 24-70 f/2.8 G-Master lens!
Awesome! Lots of fun ahead!
Guess who just ordered the A7III 😉
Haha, nice! I hope you'll like the camera! Can't wait for your coverage
Mine is coming on Thursday! Did you get your order yet?!

I just got this Adapter, and this is a game changer ..
So glad to hear that it's working out for you! Enjoy using all your old lenses 👍
How is it working? A little worried. I had a camera burn out from a Viltrox NF-E1 adapter.
Hai Tran so it does work in video?
To a degree. Not good enough for me to use it for video.
@@HaiTran Ok thanks
Very cool. I wonder if this would work with a kippon speedbooster and mamiya sekor lenses
In theory, anything within the manufacturer's specifications and can be adapted, should work.

It auto focuses with any lens that you can mount to it, whether it’s directly with Leica M or via an adapter.
Very very good video you do talk kind of fast but excellent video would like to see some of the shots that you got and see what other kind of lenses you would use with that adapter
Unfortunately, I’ve sold off all my M mount lenses and got rid of the adapter at the same time. Hopefully, you can find photo samples elsewhere 👍🏽

In theory, if you can adapt it and is within the weight specifications, it should work.
Nice Video 👍🏾 . What kind of helmet is that white on your right?
On my right and top left of the screen is this helmet amzn.to/2B4Y5Xf

Hi
I inspired by your video and bought sony a7ii, now I don't find m42 to sony FE (full frame)ADOPTER ANY WHERE in the world
Did you mean i can directly attach m42 lns on (leica m) mount?
This is a Leica M to Sony E mount adapter. If you're using M42, you'll need to adapt it to Leica M first.
Does Fotodiox Pro Pronto offer a model that will work on the Nikon Z body?
You should contact them and ask.
Does this work well for video??
I can’t say for certain because I stopped using this setup when I sold my M mount lenses but if I remember correctly, it was either very poor or unusable with video if you want autofocus.
Do you know if we can set the adapter so that it can stay where it is when we switch from AF to MF?
I'm not sure what you mean, but once you activate autofocus, the adapter stays in place until you activate autofocus again.
Is it any good for video AF?
From my experience, no. Video AF was close to useless but I have seen others use this adapter for video so perhaps they were just using it as a dummy adapter. User experience may also vary.
Can you plz make a video or tell me about the eye autofocusing with this adapter with the latest firmware update 6.0.
I have a sony a7iii, so can i get eye autofocus with that camera and samyang cine ds manual lenses for canon mount. I will use a canon to leica m mount adapter with this adapter.
Will i get the eyeautofocus?
Unfortunately, I no longer own this setup. Hopefully, someone who does can answer your question.
@@HaiTran why not?
I don't own any M mount lenses and use other manual lenses with there respective brand cameras. I just didn't have a use for the adapter.
@@HaiTran Oh ok. Well I have a big collection M42 and Pentax K mount. Easy to adapt to this
You should try it out! Make use of your older lenses with newer cameras 👍
Does this make autofocus noise?
This was discussed in the video.

@@HaiTran yeah, I got the same answers. Thanks , though. I'll be getting the Fotodiox, also due to this vid. Salute
Have fun with it! I hope it works out for you 👍🏽
Can this work on a sony a6000?
will this work on a7s ?????

u mean to say that contrast Detection Autofocus cameras will support this but focusing will be slow ?
That's something that you should contact the manufacturer about. The information that I gave you was just copied from their website. I'm not the author and can't go into detail about it.
suggest me a auto focus adapter for a7s
For manual lenses? This is really the only choice.
Seems a bit better than tech art adapter
I'm not saying this, but many would say that they are the same adapter internally 👍
Hmm I see, I didnt use the Techart extensively tho.. But good to see Fotodiox have Nik to E, their TS adapters are sturdy too
Yeah, it's worth a try if you're interested. The adapter is good for the price.
VERY THOROUGH
Thanks a lot 👍🏽
