p.1 #1 · Alpha to Canon adapter?


Forgive me if its been asked and answered, but I couldn't find anything searching.

Does anyone make (or is it possible to make, maybe the flange distance won't work) a Sony to Canon adapter? That Sony/Zeiss 135 f1.8 sounds incredible.

An adapter is not possible because
1, difference in flange only 0.5mm, no way to make an adapter this thin while still retaining the rigidity required.
2, no way to control the lens' aperture (Canon sends electronic commands to control a lens' aperture. Sony/Minolta Alpha moves a mechanical lever to do the same.)

Thank you, that's exactly what I needed to know. Maybe the next gen Alpha's will have better noise control.
