Most adapters are aluminium alloy. Sometimes with stainless steel or chromium/nickel plated steel bits on the lens bayonet side. None of my adapters are brass. |

None of my the mounts on my cheap adapters are in the least bit magnetic. The only steel parts are the screws holding the mount face on. Interesting, I just found several Sony and Minolta A-mount lenses and the 600si have ferrous mount faces, but all the Sony E-mount camera and lens mounts I tried are non-magnetic.

Mostly I'm using my A7 for adapted 35mm-vintage lenses that I sell on eBay or want to play with. MD, Canon FD, Leica screw and M, and other lenses that give problems on older DSLRs, M42 because it's easier to show bokeh with a full-frame sensor, and a lot of weird ones I see once in a blue moon, where I have usually got a friend to run off 3D printed adapters that work well enough for a quick test, or kludged something myself.
Up to now I haven't bothered with Canon EF, Nikon, Pentax, or Sony A DSLR adapters because I have bodies for those, but I've recently ordered a dumb EF to E-mount adapter because my previous test-bed camera was the Canon, and I have ten or twelve adapters for for that - using them on an EF adapter will be cheaper than replacing them all with E-mount equivalents. I'm also probably going to get a Nikon adapter because most of my hobby gear (long lenses etc.) is Nikon and it would be nice to see how it performs on full frame. My most recent project (finished today apart from final clean-up) is a Contax/Kiev rangefinder to e-mount adapter, basically the mount from a dead Kiev rangefinder built into a modified L39 adapter - you can buy them from for about £50 and up, I built my own for about £26 and it works pretty well. ![]() |
