The system mirrorless Sony Nex is a bit ‘strange because until recently were available to most camera bodies lenses. Despite this, the tiny Sony have had and continue to have a good success, thanks to the short focal which allows you to easily adapt and exploit almost all lenses on the market. Obviously you need to purchase special adapters such as the newly announced Conurus Metabones Canon EF Lens to Sony NEX Smart Adapter.
This adapter is different from many others because it is not simply an extension tube, but is full of contacts that enable electronic communication between the lens and camera body. This way you can use any Canon EF lens controlling the diaphragm in all PASM modes, as well as exploit the stabilization IS if available. The power in this case is taken directly from the camera body, so you do not need an external power supply.
The body of the adapter is also a button that allows you to open the aperture to allow easier focusing, which is still only manual. The Canon EF Lens Conurus Metabones to NEX Sony Smart Adapter is priced at $399.00, with first shipments beginning next February 2012.
