As you know MXcamera will sell the new Contax G to Sony E-mount adapter starting from February. The “special” feature is that it supports full auto aperture and auto focus control. Only the 16mm and 21mm Contax G lenses will not be compatible on a NEX camera. Anyway, the news today is that there are two more videos published by the store selling those adapters, MXcamera. One video you can watch on top and the second video can be found here on youtube. Yep, looks like the af works 🙂
MXcamera already sells the Canon EF autofocus adapter on [shoplink 16463 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

The contax 90mm looks good
still hoping for full frame.
What does the comment about a zhuoming version mean?
The comment is made here about the similarity between the Techart and Zhuming focusing Contax to Nex adaptors,

Sure this one is better!”

This adaptor is an incredible achievement. I’ve got a G 90mm which I don’t use much because I find the manual adaptor a bit clunky. NEX is far and away the most exciting camera system available!
I have the 90 as well, but I sent the adapter back after 1 day of failing with it and the lens has just been sitting here. I figured that it would probably work on a FF NEX some day, but this new adapter with AF is intriguing.
I can’t wait for this adapter to use with my 28, 45, and 90 G lenses.
I am so ready to buy this.
For an NEX-5 the AF doesn’t look that bad–not great mind you, but the the 5 & 3 (which I have) were’t known for their quick AF. I am curious to see how well it works on newer cameras. Also it still seems to have a separate power lead or some other cable dangling off of it.
if it is same as EOS-E adapter, slow AF, unreliable, need to periodically reboot your camera to make it working right. I prefer to wait 2nd generation.
Hi, We can said this is much different Canon EOS EF to Sony NEX AF adapter.
A whole new use experience when using this adapter.
Fast and accuracy! I try it on NEX 5, the result is quite good!
If you use it on NEx6, it will much better!
If manual focus override is not available then as for me this adapter will be one I pass on.
Def agree. Manual override is essential, unless… the AF is very exact and fairly quick. In that case I can live with AF only. But I have yet to be convinced. Until then, I stick to my Metabones manual adapter.
From the last post about this adapter:

Yes, it have something like Minolta power zoom / Panasonic Lumix X 14-42mm pancake electric MF switch on the adapter.
The video shoe the prototype, not the final version.
Final version will have MF switch.
We will upload a introduction video within 2 weeks.
Thank you so much.
No worry, it have MF switch in final product.
The is prototype only.
Wow, this sounds better and better! Do we know if works with the full-frame VG900?
This is great! From the video it looks like the AF speed is faster than EOS-M with their pancake lens.
But what would make this a truely awesome adapter is that they add metal-bones’ speed booster concept to this adapter…..
Any idea on what the price will be?
There is no manual focus ring so how would a switch work?
Will there be a Contax N mount adapter for the Sony NEX? I have some great lenses that need a home.
I too would like to see a Contax N mount to NEX adapter. Its been done for Canon, should be a similar arrangement.
Yes. Contax N mmount would be great, especially if Sony releases a full frame NEX body.
