I was like how can it focus a manual lens? Pretty simple actually. It mostly just comes down to the tech inside the camera that can accurately tell it where to move. Genius.
Manny, the launch of this photo was the official launch of my photography career. I found my niche using this adapter with very cheap and sharp vintage lenses like the Minolta 50mm 1.4 and the Sears Auto 58 mm 1.4. The character of these lenses is like nothing anyone has ever seen with a modern lens. I even started a side hustle selling vintage cameras.
Little story, my son went to a local flea market and found a bunch of vintage lenses so he paid 60.00 hot 5 lenses bit in that bunch of lenses was a Minolta 58mm 1.2 lens now the lens didn't work, 2 weeks ago I was in Miami for my daughter's wedding and I dropped it off to be repaired by a local shop so I'm just waiting on this beauty to come home, so your video about this adapter was just in time, going to see if they make one for Minolta, using the a6500. Love your vids always helpful
very few people know about this. What an absolute shock.....I think this has some value cos it does take a bit of effort to focus manually. Yes the adapter is not cheap, but some modern lenses especially the ones with wide apertures, are so expensive, if one is a hobbyist wishing to make things easier, it is an interesting option, if you are a bit serious with your hobby. The question though is on the vintage lens, where do you set the manual focus - to use this adapter - near end or far end ? or somewhere in the middle, or it does not matter. All in all, this is a definitely intelligent approach. Glad I saw this
This man is an inspiration to a lot of photographers!! *Cough* Sony camera's *cough* lol seriously, I just upgraded from the a6000 to the A7Rii thanks to this guy! My credit card is suffering at the moment but I don't regret it! Keep on doing ur awesome work and videos cuz they are the best when we talk about A7Rii. Keep it up man and God bless you!
Damn, that is sweet. I have been using minolta vintage lenses with my panasonic G3 4:3 mirrorless camera, and besides the manual focus it is awesome. I can't identify just what the difference is, softer and more sharp, with more background blur. You will get used to the not-so-sharp images, they are still beautiful. I make RUclips videos so having something like this that I don't have to focus is priceless.... thanks!
I love old Russian manual lenses. After seeing your video I just ordered the adapter from your link. Unfortunately Amazon is out of the m42 to Leica adapters, so I had to source that from elsewhere. Thanks for this video very helpful!
I used the TechArt Pro adapter which is VERY similar to this adapter, so few things to note: - the adapter will drain your battery FAST, even when your camera is turned off. I tested this a few times by leaving my A7II off with a fresh battery, and after a few hours, the battery was at 60%. I bought 8 batteries for my A7II because of this. Note: I no longer have the TechArt adapter. - with rangefinder lenses, like Leica and Voigtlander M-mount lenses, the edges will be soft, but that's mostly because of the sensor's thickness. Regardless, if you want to use legendary glass like a Summicron, the adapter will focus fast, but only the center will be 100% sharp, and the corners will suffer from softness. - with this adapter and other non-native E-mount lenses, you get 3-axis sensor stabilization, not 5 axis. - this works best with cameras with phase detection auto focus, so the a6300, a6500, a7II, etc. - you can focus any lens, as long as you have the proper adapter That's all. I recommend it only if you already have a collection of manual lenses.
- Battery drain: You could just taken the battery out, than back in when you are done with shooting. No more drain, and no need for 8 batteries. It's annoying a bit, but it works. - Rangefinder lenses: This has nothing to do with Tehcart Pro, or Fotodiox Pronto, its the same thing with dumb adapters. You could get an improvement in this area if you see phillipreeve.net , he uses filter in the front to improve the images a lot. - "You can focus any lens": You can use this on majority of old lenses, but not on all of them. Lenses that focus with internal "floating elements" are bad in this regard, meaning the quality will degrade a lot, or not be able to focus at all. But this is a very small number of old lenses, and it's usually zooms that suffer. The prime lenses are almost all ok.
Do you recommend the Voigtlander VM-E Close Focus Adapter for VM-Mount Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera?! I'm stuck between either autofocus or manual focus.
Freaking awesome Sensai! Would be dope to get eye af with this adapter ... imagine the possibilities, using a fast manual prime such as the .95 apertures and etc. Can't wait to see what awesome results you can get with some more vintage lenses!
Wow! Amazing! May I ask you Is it just for Sony? There is no Canon version? Also, the one you have autofocus only works for photos or there is autofocus tracking when shooting video with it? Let me know please!
This might just push me to sell my Canon gear and get a Sony, looks an absolute brilliant adapter. I've get several vintage lenses that I love and would be awesome to have an adapter like this. Great video as always.
wow this is so exciting I get my first Sony camera this Thursday! so to know that there is something out there like this just makes my transition from Nikon so much easier, thank you!!!
One of your best videos yet! Great combination of video and explanation and showing workmanship with examples and then the cinematic stuff! Great Work! Love all your stuff! Hopefully you have a great time at photoplus tomorrow!
I give all the cred for your great photos to your beautiful and talented wife, you just capture the greatness she does :). Wish I had easy access to a model like that. (Ok, you do know how to shoot as well..keep it up both of you)
Simple and brilliant solution. Cool video :) (I just started using a Helios 44-2 on a Canon EOS 400D, and I love it! Beautiful pics, and a perfect portrait lens on that camera)
They are awesome, I just got one! Have you ever used one at a wedding, with say a Jupiter 9 85mm lens? So far this thing works great with my Helios and Pentax glass..
But it's an insanely good deal though, just think about it. With that $250 piece of magic you can transform ANY manual lens into an AF lens, meaning you could realistically only have manual lenses in your kit and not have to buy any Sony AF lenses. So instead of spending $500 to get the Sony 85mm f1.8, you can now just hunt for a manual 85mm f1.8 lens that's like around $100 and bam, you now have an AF 85mm f1.8 lens for $350. Get where I'm going with this?
$249 is actually a good price of that thing in my opinion! Having the option to autofocus vintage lenses in professional shootings is priceless! I shot a lot manual lenses in the past and I made the experience that even with focus peaking I miss focus SLIGHTLY in almost 40% of all shots and considering them being pro shootings that is just not acceptable - a slight bit off is still off. This adaptor would be a must have for me if it was availivle for the Nikon Z6.
@Miriam Gajkova any lens should work with this adaptor, as long as a) you find a Leica M to whichever mount you wish to adapt, and b) that lens can focus to infinity. If I'm not mistaken old Minolta AF lenses could still be focused manually if you chose to, so if you can manually set it to infinity you're golden.
@@Project_2501 I'd hate for all you today to have had to use full manual cameras and lenses like we had to pre digital and getting good results to boot
While I can appreciate that there may be specific reasons to want you old manual lenses to autofocus, I would personally never pay that much money just for autofocus. One of the reasons I love mirrorless cameras and specifically my A7II, is that these cameras make manually focusing truly enjoyable.
Hey Manny. Please take these comments in the right way, I'm not a troll, I'm just a fan of your channel with an opinion. Your video production has become a lot slicker lately, but part of me misses the personal touch that your older videos had. The production values were simpler but felt more directly connected to me as a viewer. It's part of the reason I why I subscribed in the first place and a big part of your appeal to me. I completely respect if you want to go in a new direction and perhaps earn more views from a wider audience. I also respect that a lot of your subscribers will also enjoy the newer style. As I said this is just an opinion, I still subscribe and still look forward to your videos in future. Hope you don't take this as an attack on your work and success so far and realise that it comes from a place of up most respect. P.S. I'm also a big fan of how you and Diana interact as a couple. I know your videos are mainly about photography but it's a dynamic which adds real enjoyment to your content.
+Joe Mc Callion Joe thanks for the feedback. How about if I mixed it up? I definitely want to do higher production stuff but want to stay connected with my old style
Manny Ortiz Yeah Manny, I think that would definitely appeal to me. I wouldn't want you to think that you shouldn't progress and develop the channel either. I think it's great that it's growing for you, it's deserved and fans will only benefit from fresher content as well. Perhaps maybe I'm just not used to the new style as well. Also, thanks for replying and taking my feedback in a good spirit
LMBO, I saw this adaptor a few weeks back and was like yeah right! lol glad you tested it out, thanks again Manny & Diana great job and i'm getting one now. :)
Hey man I know this video is super old but I have an a6400 and Samyang 12mm manual focus lens but it has an E mount. How would I get this to be compatible? Is it possible to M mount back to E mount? As most of my manual lenses are e mount if I mount this on camera, I’m thinking the setup would look like emount camera> pronto adapter>m mount to emount adapter> emount manual lens. Or do they just make prontos that are just emount to emount?
Another interesting video from you Manny. Have you tried this adapter in combination with the Zhongyi Mitakon 50mm f0.95 lens, and, if so, how did it go?
Can you use this without the autofocus function as well? Say i want the autofocus for some ocassions and just manual for others, without draining my battery? Thanks
Hey Manny, I'm a food photographer. I just bought the Laowa 60 mm f2.8 manual focus lens . I wanted to use it's macro ability because it has a 2X Magnificent. Do you know if it works for this lens ? And I m going to need Exif Data . Will this adapter communicate with the camera and provide this Data ?
Even though I’m quite happy with manual focus a lot of the time I find the technology behind this amazing! It’s not April the 1st is it? Loved the dappled black and white image.
Nikon did much the same with the TC1.6A teleconverter back in the 1980s when they were transitioning to AF lenses and cameras. The TC1.6A moved an internal element rather than the complete lens but was very limited by focusing range. I have one to autofocus my Nikon 500 f4 P.

Does this work on manual Samyang 135mm F2 or manual lenses of Samyang/Rokina? Does it can be use on Canon too or only Sony? Please share some light on it
MANNYYYYY lets link fam!! Fellow chicago sony onwer here, me and my lady, who also models, love your channel. Really inspiring. Lets link up some time!!
Any idea if it can take full use of the 5 axis IBIS? From what I know, manual lenses (completely no electric contacts) can only benefit from 3 axes as the other 2 require the lens to report focus distance to calculate.
Now thinking about it, it is simple physics with awesome engineering. Why B and H did not send me notice on this. Folks, please tell how good it works before i order one. thanks to all.
I havent used the Pronto, but it should work just fine as long as there is an available m-mount adapter for the lens (one that retains infinity focus without optics). Assuming the Rokinon is an EF mount, you can get an EF to M adapter, then mount that to the Pronto.
That's actually pretty wild. Dude, We are in the future!
Zed ProMedia Seriously
lee it really is exciting to see what is coming down the road
hey Zed and Manny, isn't this just a Techart PRO rip-off? :)

Hello Manny,
I´m using since 1,5 years the Techart Pro Adapter with my Zeiss Contax, OM Zuiko and Konica lenses, it´s incredible.
It´s the same principe with the Leica M-mount, you need only the OM to LM or the C/Y to LM Adapter.
Greetings from Germany Thomas
Hi Thomas! I'm planning to use this for my Zeiss 85mm f1.4 planar lens. do you think it will work?
Amazing work!
Would it auto focus on my subject when shooting a video? or I would have keep pressing the shutter to refocus?
I think I'll just stick to in-camera focus confirmation and catch-in-focus. It doesn't cost me anything and has worked very well for the last ten years-ish on Pentax bodies.
Cool!! But do you think it might work with a6000?
You can still buy adapters for old lenses & use them. I shoot Fuji but have seen them for Sony as well.

Hey there! Does this help with Rokinon 1.4 Manual lens ? Suggest me please
I havent used the Pronto, but it should work just fine as long as there is an available m-mount adapter for the lens (one that retains infinity focus without optics). Assuming the Rokinon is an EF mount, you can get an EF to M adapter, then mount that to the Pronto.
You have my like & sub! Question how well does it perform on video face detection?
