Fotodiox just launched a new TOUGH E-Mount Signature Edition 2015. You can already buy it on Amazon US (Click here). Fotodiox writes:
The TOUGH E Mount Signature Edition – now in a limited edition brass finish! We have been overwhelmed by the response we’ve gotten to our mount replacement kit. Replace Sony’s original plastic & metal combo mount, with our solid brass TOUGH E Mount. We’re only doing a limited run of these all-brass versions. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
The “normal” non signature version costs $10 less and is also available on Amazon US (Click here).

WOW
”That’s great but if im to do that, I want mine to look like a holograph please” XD
looks like they should put some jewels in somewhere to really bling it up.
Too bad it is just “brass finish” and not all brass, that would make more sense. I wish Sony would make an all gold version of their cameras like Pentax. This would be PERFECT for it. Instead of that gator leather though, maybe cover it with internet troll hide and you would have an instant classic. So classy………..
We can only hope Hassleblad will come up with some mirrorless porn soon. We need something to laugh at after watching Galavant! If you ever liked Princess bride, Now there is Galavant!
“troll hide” LOL
Should’ve been signed as “Fotodiox, fixing Sony’s mistakes since 2014” instead.
Even I don’t like “exclusive” versions, I like the way it looks with the orange ring on the A7.
I can see all the early adopters of the chrome version rushing out to buy this…
The daft thing is the original is brass with chrome finish; this is just brass!
See Sony? There’s nothing unique about E-Mount. Everybody can make one.
Exactly what I was looking for: a ring to show everybody my camera came with a special tilt shift mount!
Yeah .. instead of the text signature edition it should read LESS FAIL EDITION 🙂
These custom made mount rings serve a very important role – they make it easy to spot the idiots out there that buy and install them!
Now people will be even MORE impressed while i’m quickly changing lenses.
What was that? A batch they forgot to chrome plate?
I want to buy this but it’s such a TOUGH decision.
WOW!!!11 how ugly.
I’d rather read “A9 specs leaked!” in the headlines, Andrea 🙁
They are now considering a diamond version, but first have to solve the problem with light leakage!
Hasselblad, on the other hand, are working on a wooden version.
It will be real old-school, the mount would only be a round wooden hole without any threads and the lens is screwed in like an wood screw.
Wow! And it’s still $12 less than the OE Sony stainless steel part from the A7S / A7II.
These guys hit a big jackpot. All A7 and A7r cameras that are now dated but just 3 months back used to be the hottest thing in the store….
Really?
I’ll wait for the 2016!
It’s getting a bit ridiculous now.
$50 for a piece of brass finish (not real brass) ring? You got to be kidding me!
Fotodiox can you please launch a triple E version in solid 24K Gold? (E-mount Elite Edition) Thx!
I need a metallic pink version of this mount. fotodiox pls. ty!
There’s a sucker born every minute. Or every second?
Lol…. what a joke
So this is an ESSENTIAL component to the E-Mount camera system to ensure reliable mounting of lenses….. So why doesn’t Sony take responsibility and make their mounts FIT FOR PURPOSE. WTF.
Considering all the effort in R&D, manufacturing and sales to produce a world class camera you would think that Sony would ensure every component is suitably of the same high quality. Letting one component ruin the reputation of a product and strategy is ridiculous.
Calm down, there is nothing wrong with the original Sony mount. Fotodiox are just trying to make a buck off of people with mental problems.
Someone should offer tough A-mount for A58 instead of plastic one, it could be quite good camera then.
A58 mount is more reliable than the one in A7, even despite of being plastic.
I don’t like all the writing on the front. I’d prefer touph is smaller letters-centered on the bottom and that is it.
Signature Edition 2015??? Is there gonna be a collector’s box every year?
