thingiverse

A precision-crafted adapter designed specifically for Sony E-mount cameras, allowing users to seamlessly integrate Minolta/Sony A mount lenses into their setup. Built with simplicity, accuracy and reliability in mind, this adapter boasts a robust design that ensures optimal performance. Key features of this adapter include: * A mechanical lens lock, replicating the function of a camera body's lens lock mechanism * A fixed aperture blade, designed to keep the aperture wide open at all times * Easy-to-replace parts for the locking mechanism, reducing downtime and maintenance costs * A textured surface for improved grip and aesthetic appeal * Visual alignment nubs, mirroring those found on standard lenses or cameras * A calculated Flange Focal Length of 26.3mm (verified to ensure infinity focus) The adapter has been tested with Minolta A-mount lenses, although its compatibility with Sony A-mount lenses is unknown. The fixed blade is engineered to slide the lens's aperture blade open, taking advantage of the spring-loaded design. The mechanical lock consists of only two parts, both of which are compact and easily replaceable if damaged.
