Kipon makes their version of the Metabones Speed Booster and you can find them with the name [shoplink 32063 ebay]Baveyes on eBay (Click here to see them)[/shoplink]. And recently Kipon announced two more of those adapters. Here is the press text:
KIPON released new EF-NEX AF autofocus electronic adapter and Baveyes EF-NEX AF autofocus optic adapter, both of two adapters can use full frame canon EF lens on SONY E mount mirrorless cameras, and realize autofocus function, former one can be used for SONY apsc frame E mount body(C3,NEX5,NEX7,A6000…),also can be used on full frame E mount body(A7,A7R,A7S,A7Ⅱ..),but when use it on apsc frame E mount body,there will physically have 1.5x crop factor; the second one have built-in 4 optic element,through special designed optic system, getting rid of the crop factor, to get the same view like full frame lens on full frame cameras.
Our products are always well known because of our stable quality and unique design, compare to other similar products, our these two adapters have better stability and best compatibility.
We will start the sale in US,Europe,Asia market for these two adapters before Christmas this month, retailer price would be 309USD and 408USD.

Nice adaptors, a bit pricey.
Like your mom, just she is ukly hOe.
Your mom s collecting mushrooms every weekend, just not in the woods…lel, homou
Sorry hulk; my mom is into real men, not little weasels that hide behind a keyboard. You need therapy as soon as possible, just be honest with the therapist and tell him/her of you physical shortcomings that make you feel less than a man. They will understand and recommend a suitable treatment or a possible implant. Don’t waste your life feeling too small.
I have for a while now been saying how Canikon compatability with E mount is very important if Sony wants to gain market share.
I am not certain if this adapter will allow full high speed autofocus or only limited sloer autofocus.
If it does allow full high high speed af this will be an important step in that direction.
It can’t do high speed AF, the lenses are designed for off sensor phase detect not on sensor AF. It’s the same discussion we have been having with you on this topic in other threads. Perhaps a Canon STM lens could be made to focus quickly but not the bulk of the Canon lineup.
Then…as I have suggested before…an laea4 type adapter should be made for both Canon and Nikon lenses.
And who would make these adapters? 😀
Sony won’t do that. In this business companies make money selling lenses and other accessories, not bodies. That’s why few companies make lenses, but there are no body-only manufacturers.
Sony wants you to buy their A-mount lenses.
Sony will never succeed in forcing us to buy Sony lenses that we do not want.
They will however succeed in in forcing us to buy Canon and Nikon cameras.
I am being forcrd to buy a Canon or Nikon camera because the only lens that will meet my needs…Sigma 150-600 sport + global vision 1.4x……… is only made for Canon and Nikon and no suatable adapter..high speed focus…is available.
“Sony will never succeed in forcing us to buy Sony lenses that we do not want. They will however succeed in forcing us to buy Canon and Nikon cameras.”
That’s exactly what Sony, Nikon and Canon want.
Acording to latest rumors…although Canon rumors are ambiguous. ..Sony will be making sensors for most cameras produced…Canon, Nikon, Sony…
They already make sensors for all MF cameras produced.
This does put them in a good position.
Clearly camera system sales are far less important than sensor sales.
Continuing in camera sales however is important because as a camera manufacturer…needing to compete..thier understanding of what sensors need to do will be better than if they only made sensors.
Therefore they will produce better sensors.
Yes,
and I pointed that out months ago, I’m glad that the reality about Sony is becoming more clear.
In the recent past Nikon was using many non-Sony sensors and Canon was going to use thier own high end sensor.
Sony probably could be a major competitor to them if that were thier primary goal, and Canikon knows that.
It has been sensor sales that have moderated Sony’s desire to lead the market.
If Canikon become unreliable sensor customers Sony may indeed make a serious attempt to lead the market.
This could be one reason for them now buying Sony sensors again.
Also everyone has been working on foveon like sensors…if a new technology..such as Sony Color Sampling sensor…surpases the potential of Foveon like sensors before they are even produced, Canikon will have to buy these Sony sensors because they have nothing comparable in development.
“If CaNikon become unreliable sensor customers Sony may indeed make a serious attempt to lead the market.”
Dream on, that won’t happen for a multitude of reasons.
Sony has already proven beyond a doubt that they can produce the best sensors, IBIS on full frame and fit i all into a camera that’s significantly smaller and at less cost. You need to pull your head out of your a$$ and stop living in a fantasy world. And take of the ridiculous glasses and hat, do you fancy yourself as the Indiana Jones of photography?
Correct.
Sony makes the best Image sensors and EVFs on the market and Sony is an important innovator and leader in the photographic component industry.
Sony also makes a few cameras to demonstrate their component capabilities.
Sony is not trying to compete with or replace Nikon or Canon.
As a consumer I care nothing about Sony’s best interest but rather expect Sony to care about mine.
Thats why they will lose my business.
Canon an Nikon gain..Sony loses
Why on earth would they want your business when gaining it loses them money?
Whenever I think you can’t get any more stupid…
Someone can make adapter that makes Nikon lenses mimicking as A-mount lenses 😀
Yawn, Sony
fanboysshiatpushers still waiting for lenses,yawn, stuped disgesting homous, go sukk a dck full of aids, dirtpoushers! Let

You need a beating.
I’m just going to buy a fourth system and go Nikon. Why not, I’ve wasted enough cash so why not yet another system. Nikon D750 (assuming they fix that stupid vignetting problem) and some fast Nikkor glass. So much for “one camera to rule them all.”
*compatibility
What you are suggesting would be good for Canon’s market share, not Sony’s.
What Sony market share.
Sony can only come out ahead by making thier system fully compatable with Canikons vastly superior lens collection.
Serios ….except a few that dont care about lens selection….. photographers will never consider Sony unless they can use those collections.
Most photographers care much more about glass than cameras..and none of them will go near Sony
Sony is not trying to sell cameras at the expense of their agreements with Nikon and Canon.
It is more profitable for Sony to sell image sensors and EVFs to Nikon and Canon than to risk these agreements and sell a few cameras to people who don’t understand the importance of lenses.
Sony can’t and don’t want to do it because of restrictions in agreements with Nikon, and more recently with Canon.
It will have to be unlicensed independents doing it, risking infringements with Nikon and Canon lens mount patents.
I hear that Canon lenses work very well on Canon cameras. It’s a good system, way above this plastic gadgets here, you should try it sometimes.
I might possibly do that…but don’t wory I will still continue to post regularly on SAR.
Who will be first to bring out a Nikon-SonyE adapter that can focus?
AF could be done but the problem is the mechanical aperture linkage with the Nikon mount so you still wouldn’t be able to control the aperture from the camera and therefore you would first have to manually open the aperture diaphragm all the way to get enough light for reliable AF, then establish focus, and then stop down to your desired aperture on the lever or ring that is integrated into Nikon to E mount adapters. The only Nikon lenses that use an electronic aperture control is the new 400 f/2.8 and the 800 f/5.6. The Canon mount is fully electronic so it is much easier to accomplish and the user doesn’t need to go through all of these machinations to establish focus and aperture control.
LAEA4 does provide faster focusing.
Why an adapter cannot get on sensor information instead of using this SLT mirror? It looks like this LAEA mirror thing is just a trick to protect the SLT lineup which look less and less necessary.
You asked for a Nikon adapter to Sony E that autofocuses. Look at your Nikon lenses, they have a mechanical aperture linkage. LAEA4 adds phase detect AF and is for Sony lenses which use a totally different technology in their mount. It is a completely different animal than the way the Nikon mount works.
In theory you might be able to build something like this for Nikon but it would need power and fast actuating motors to precisely move the aperture stop-down tab that mechanically sets the aperture on Nikon lenses. Trust me, it’s not going to happen, at least not for lenses that have a mechanical linkage and it will be a decade or more before all Nikon lenses don’t use that anymore. Right now there are only two such lenses, both costing as much as a small car.
The Canon mount is fully electronic so it is relatively easy to activate AF and aperture since all that is required is a translation logic from Sony signals to Canon signals – this can easily be achieved via a single programmable logic array chip. To build something that would work for Nikon, even if it were in the style of an LAEA4 would be a much harder and WAY more expensive engineering feat. If somebody does do it, it would have to be a pretty sophisticated company and it would be very expensive and likely incur all sorts of legal problems.
True, but you have 28.5 mm to work with. Plenty of room for a USM aperture driver and feed back.
Why? Screw Sony for that 😀
The LAEA3 does exactly that, uses the sensor information instead of the SLT focus system. Check out some youtube videos to see the performance difference between the same a-mount lens mount via LAEA3 vs LAEA4. The difference is tremendous because the A-mount lenses do not have the stepping motors which are necessary at this stage for optimal performance with mirrorless sensor based focusing systems. Stepping motors seem to work well on phase detect systems such as the canon STM lenses but it does not work the other way around.
I guess many users will be happy even if the aperture control will be entirely manual…
the problem is that third parties don’t get license from Sony and Nikon, sooo…
Sony formula: Bodies + Adaptors = 2 x Lenses. Even for Sony fgts reality is too rough up the @nus, lel
I don’t appreciate your tone. It’s offensive. I feel like your saying…and correct me if I’m wrong here…that because I shoot Sony I like to get my shiiit pushed in. What your saying is I like to lube up thee ol’ corn hole whenever I grab a sony FE body. Maybe even shove telephotos straight up my salad shooter. Horrible, just horrible.
HULK not want be be offensive, not horrible. Just say reality of Sony userbase. want to convert you to true holy side of photography, Nikon (Canon also tolerated)
I’ve considered the Nikon side of photography. But then, when I look at what they want for a crippled 1/4000th shutter speed, crappy live view and FPS from 2005 I feel like I really am getting my shiiiit pushed in. Double penetration.
I have read this twice, but I still do not understand how these are any different than the Sony full frame adapters. They are only more expensive. If anyone can shed some light, I am listening.
Yawn, Sony fanboys shiatpushers still waiting for lenses,

Hulk, I have some beautiful Nikon hardware I am willing to part with. Since you only like Nikon or Canon, I thought you would be interested. I would like to compare the A7II shots with your photographs to see what is lacking. Could you point me to your website? Thanks,
So read it once again.
Hint: Sony is not the only lens manufacturer in the world.
I see now that I missed the Canon reference. It is not worth that amount of money to me, but I am sure it could be to someone. Thanks for pointing that out.
Yawn, Sony

HULK, you sh_t is not funny anymore. You should think about either updating your collection of the dumb jokes or STFU.
The best comment I’ve ever read on this bog.
Someone missed the memo that NEX is out. What now? Nik-a? Can-alpha?
No, just CI Sales without ballz cus HULK SMASH! Break your nots, stpd feggit!
Was that a feeble attempt at humor? Pathetic.

Psst. Take a look at this, care to give us your analysis…..
Is there A to E Speed Booster? I would like to use my full frame Zeiss on my a6000. Thanks! Link appreciated
http://www.metabones.com/products/details/MB_SPA-E-BM1
I think I love you! Thank you!
no electronic contacts on the metabones A-E adapters
I see plenty of the NEX only version on ebay, but the Full Frame one is no where to be found. (the one shown in above image on left) Is this one really selling yet?
Why does the reductorless adapter opening is rectangular? Is it really necessary to emulate vignetting of the mirror box?
Reflections are the biggest problem with this type of adapters. So that is why the shape
Reflections can be a problem with D750 where there is a (reflective!) AF module in the bottom, but not a mirrorless camera. This square thingy will clip bokeh with f/1.2 lenses and maybe even f/1.4
Many of my adapters have reflection issues and even a7 itself with native lenses has reflection problems. These manifest as flares, reduced contrast etc.
… The mirrorless camera producers should have came with a reducer from begin with…
What is the AF performance with these and a6000? Has speed come to “acceptable” level yet?
Very unlikely to happen. Sony didn’t even add 6000-AF to A-mount lenses w/o SLT.
are they stupid? i have a Viltrox electronic adapter that does it all too but, for under 100 dolars.
Sonyalpharumors is now warning listed by AVG and others.
Sonyalpharumors, ban offenders from your site or get off the web.
I do not understand this comment..please explain it.
Unfortunately, Sonyalpharumors is not one of the more serious or reputable photographic rumor sites. Sonyalpharumors failure to control decency offenders is only one aspect. AVG is warning people from “sharing personal information on this site”.
I as well as others often are deluged with pointless insults by anonymous postors as well as impostors immitating my screen name.
I usually need to deal with this on my own as admin seems reluctant to interfere.
I sometimes have found it necessary to respond harshly to some of these commentor and am then myself unjustly accused of bullying
They are looking for word-war and attention, therefore don’t answer them.
Thank you for saving us from those terrible wordsmiths. 🙂 And please take off that stupid hat, you look ridiculous.
Disqus terms of service is very clear about impersonation. Feel free to go to the Disqus site for that user and flag them.
This site was just fine until you came along Mr. Nyman, if you don’t fit in here please go somewhere else.
Perhaps a simply stupid question but: if the focal reducer / speed booster works so well with FF-lenses on APSC-sensors than it would be possible to “reduce” medium and large format lenses to the FF-sensor? Isn’t it an interesting possibility to put some historical glass in petzval or cooke design and get partly really great speed numbers?…
LOL. I see no getting away from Canon in the foreseeable future…
