thefactory Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hi All,Just picked up and A7sii and I'm very excited to start shooting. I have come from M43 and have many lenses in that format. Im selling my GH4 but i might keep the OMD5 Mark ii for photo work as i really like shooting photos on that camera. Im going to buy a few native Sony FE lenses for everyday shooting and a few manual lenses for more specialist work. To fund the new lenses i need to see my M43 lenses. Does anyone have experience with shooting FE lens on M43? I know its probably not as fast focus wise as say using the Oly 12-40 pro lens but is it acceptable?Thanks for your help.

Cinegain Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Can you even mount them?I found out a little while ago you can adapt M43 lenses to E-mount, but didn't find an adapter for the other way around, which kinda weirded me out a bit.

Nikkor Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 E mount has a shorter flange focal distance so no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 E mount has a shorter flange focal distance so no.And THIS is why the adapting only works in *one* direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
