Extended compatibility through adapters
Adapters allow the use of different lenses on various cameras, even if they were not originally designed for each other and have different connections. In most cases, the imaging behavior of the lens does not change with the use of an adapter, as the design of the adapter is meticulously crafted. Usually, the ability to focus to infinity is also preserved, which may not be possible with certain combinations due to excessive distances between the lens and the sensor.
Kipon MAF-N/Z Adapter: Minolta AF lenses on cameras with Canon RF Mount
This adapter allows the use of Minolta AF lenses, as well as lenses with Sony A Mount, on cameras with Canon RF Mount. Minolta AF lenses do not have an aperture ring; the aperture is typically set by the camera. With this adapter, the aperture can be manually and continuously adjusted using an aperture ring on the adapter. Special care should be taken when mounting wide-angle and fisheye lenses to the adapter.
Manual operation
Some adapters transmit electrical signals between the camera and the lens, allowing for fully automatic exposure programs and automatic focusing. Others do not, requiring the photographer to operate the lens manually - which is not a real obstacle even for beginners in photography. With this adapter, only manual operation with Minolta AF lenses is possible.
Compatible with Sony A lenses
Lenses from the Sony A series can also be mounted on this adapter. They are then also usable only in manual mode. Their aperture can only be controlled on the lens itself, not via the aperture ring on the adapter. The Minolta AF Mount is also known as Minolta A.
