I just got an email from Camera MX with a link to a new youtube video and a delivery estimation of the new Contax G to E-mount adapter: “We believe we can launch this adapter around Feb. One more thing, Contax G16mm and G21mm cannot used on this CONTAX G – SONY NEX AF adapter. If you want to use G21 with this, you must cut the rear lens flange. G16 cannot use on it. In future, international version is renamed as “DEO TECHART” or “DEO””

Andrea, can you ask to Camera MX guys if it is possible to focus manually with their adapter or AF only?
Thanks
ok! Will ask!
Yeah I am curious about if it can be manually focused as well…. I will be looking forward to the answer.
Why not just carry two adaptors? One being dedicated manual, and this one. They’re small and light.
Because the adapters are extremely frustrating to put on the lens, they require quite a bit of finesse
It would start getting expensive.
Personally, If I had to choose between constant auto focus or strictly manual focus (being as I was a early original NEX 5 adopter and started using my Contax G glass with in a few weeks of getting it) and have used the same adapter/ Contax glass on the 5 and my 7 for quite awhile now I am sure I would just stay with manual focus only. AF would be nice to have every now and then but I would not want to not be able to go to manual focus when I wanted to. Swapping adapters between shots is possible but not what I would want to do as a steady basis on a small light carry camera system. If I wanted to swap and carry things I would carry my dSLR’s.
Lets hope there is a manual focus wheel as I do see a large round object on the lower left side of the mounted adapter that could be a focus wheel or a lens disconnect lever.
I like manual focus as well. It would be surprising however if this AF adapter would offer anything other than a fly-by-wire type MF given they have to couple the motor to focus spindle of the lens. MF using buttons can’t compete with a manual lens focus ring.
Andrea, can you ask to Camera MX guys if it is possible to focus manually with their adapter or it is AF only?
Thanks
Yes, it have something like Minolta power zoom / Panasonic Lumix X 14-42mm pancake electric MF switch on the adapter.
Our name is MXcamera, not camera MX…….
We have a very big logo in the bottom(video)!!!!
Hi, can you also pls clarify if the Contax adapter shall work with Zeiss Contax T* Sonnar 135mm/f2.8? It would be cool… thnx
I don’t think that is a Contax G lens…
It wont work with the 135, this adapter is for contax *G* lenses only. They’re different mounts.
I would be interested in knowing if this has a full frame cut, if so this is a great way to future proof for the FF nex!
Looking everywhere for the price in US Dollars or in Euro for this adapter? Their web-store doesn’t even have this listed as available or coming.
We are so sorry that we do not set the price this moment.
However, we think it will not more than US$300. Thank you so much.
Not sure if it’s possible to make the Nikon-NEX adapter?
Need Vectis adapter for 17mm and 400CAT. Protocols should be identical to existing A-Mount to E-Mount.
Will it also work with Phase Detection AF (PD-AF) on NEX-6?
It’s possible to use G21 without cutting the back with Kipon adapter, why not with MXcamera?
