It should be compatible with other Sony E-mount bodies, but please verify your specific model's E-mount compatibility before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Will autofocus work when using this M42 to NEX adapter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. This is a purely mechanical adapter with no electronic contacts. Autofocus, automatic diaphragm control, and image stabilization linked to the lens will not function. You will need to focus manually and use stop-down metering for exposure. Manual mode or aperture-priority mode is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Do I need to change any camera settings to use this adapter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes. Most Sony NEX cameras require you to enable the \u003cstrong\u003e\"Shoot Without Lens\"\u003c\/strong\u003e option in the camera menu. This allows the camera to fire the shutter even when no electronically communicating lens is detected, which is necessary when using manual-focus lenses via adapters like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this adapter ring compatible with retractable lenses?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: While many M42 lenses will mount physically, caution is advised with retractable (collapsible) lenses. Some retractable lens designs may interfere with the camera body when collapsed.
