When I ordered this adapter so I could use my old 35mm Nikon AF lenses, I wasn't sure if I would like it. After years of DSLRs and AF cameras, this looked like a step backwards. The adapter is well made, and fits both camera and lens snugly. But, as you would expect, the lens operates completely manually. No AF, for sure. But, the AE does work, if you use the Auto ISO, or put it in P mode (on my a6500). The combination of auto shutter speed and Auto ISO make the use of the aperture on the lens what it should be, an artistic choice. And, my old Nikon primes and even zooms are super sharp lenses. But, the one thing I was not sure of was the lack of AF. How can you take a picture without AF, I thought? Well, going back to my Nikon FE2 days, or Pentax Spotmatic days, or even further back to my first instruction on a Crown Graphic 4x5, they were all manual focus. But, the Sony A6500 has two features that make lack of AF a no-brainer. The A6500 will mark focus edges with peaking. That makes the choice of focus again, an artistic choice, and not an algorithm of the camera. A second feature, focus magnifier, allows me to zoom into small areas to check focus. If you are shooting fleeting wildlife or action sports, this will probably not work for you. But, for everything else, it puts you back in the driver's seat. For the price, if you have a Sony or other mirrorless camera and old, but very sharp, fast lenses, give this a try. You may get hooked as I have been.

I read that the build quality for this product is a bit hit and miss. I decided to buy one anyway as I wanted to try my Nikon prime lenses on my new Sony nex 7. The one I got from Amazon is very nicely made. It fits nice and snug to the nex 7 and the Nikon lenses lock firmly into place with no play or movement. I have to say, my Nikon lenses really bring the nex7 images to life. The focus peaking works so well it is easy and quick to manual focus. I was using my 50mm f1.4 wide open and getting crisp, dreamy shallow depth of field images. Shooting around f5.6 to f16 I get amazing depth and sharpness right across the frame. I use lenses from 24mm up to 85mm. These adapters are great fun, and if you enjoy total manual control, there are thousands of lenses out there from Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Olympus, Leica etc. Go for it! PS. Now I've tried a cheap adapter I don't mind purchasing one of the more expensive brands.

Nice firm fit. no sloppiness. Good chrome facing making this a very good accessory for the NEX / Nikon enthusiast.

This adapter is well (enough!) made and my old Nikon 50mm lens fits snug onto it and there is NO play (as there was with another one I bought from Amazon, by Zykkor, that I was able to return). Also, the fit between the adapter and my Sony NEX-6 is snug and secure. Now I'm on to have some fun with legacy lenses ("glass") on my modern camera. Initial results look very promising - I'll post a picture or two soon. Just be aware that using one of these adapters with your Sony NEX camera will require that you manually focus and set aperture. The Sony "focus peaking" feature makes manual-focus VERY simple.

The locking pin is a little fiddly but the adapter fits securely and does the job. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Cowboy Studios again.
