You can with the modern $400 Metabones adapter. It's cheaper than selling all the lenses and buying new ones.

- grecy 9y ago..Thanks for the info, I'm reading specs on that now. Do you know if you loose a stop or two of aperture like you do with a doubler? i.e. if the lens is f/1.8, will it still be that mounted on the Sony?
- ISL 9y agoNo loss, except perhaps some vignette (for lenses whose optical path might partially clip because of the smaller E-mount flange). The adapters pass through/translate the electronic signals and set the proper flange distance. Nothing more.
- dharma1 9y agoI've done this (using full frame lenses with a speed booster) but have to say native Sony lenses are often really good, and half the size/weight of full frame lenses. Also autofocus doesn't always work or is slow with the speed booster
- ebikelaw 9y agoUsing one of these with my Nikon lenses on an Olympus m43 body ... results are spectacular. It allows you to throw 35mm amounts of light on a sensor 1/4 as large, which has benefits.
- e40 9y agoI've been thinking of going that route, but when I looked a couple of years ago there were significant limitations. Seems the reviews are much more positive now.
