Lenses that fit the Sony NEX-FS700R

Pick a camera, a lens or a mount. We work out what mounts natively, what adapts, which adapter people actually use — and whether the lens covers the sensor. Modern cine glass and vintage lenses alike.

Wooden Camera E to PL · Vocas PL to E · Metabones PL-E. Solid and common. Support the lens — the E-mount is not built to carry a heavy cine zoom on its own.

Metabones EF-E Smart Adapter · Sigma MC-11. Iris control and IS work; autofocus works on most lenses but is slower than native, and continuous video AF is hit-and-miss.

Fotodiox C-NEX. Mounts, but expect heavy vignetting outside a Super 16 crop; lenses with a wide rear barrel don't seat.

Solid blue = an adapter people actually use. Pale blue = possible by flange distance; check that someone makes the ring.

Adapting lenses, answered

How do I know if a lens can be adapted to my camera?

Compare flange focal distances — the gap between the mount and the sensor. An adapter can only add distance, never remove it, so a lens adapts cleanly when its own system has a LONGER flange distance than your camera’s. That is why almost anything goes on mirrorless mounts (16–20 mm) and almost nothing goes on PL (52 mm).

Can I put PL lenses on a Sony, Canon RF or L-Mount camera?

Yes. PL sits at 52 mm and mirrorless mounts at 16–20 mm, leaving room for a solid mechanical adapter. Use lens support: a mirrorless bayonet is not built to carry a cine zoom. Also check coverage — many PL lenses only cover Super 35, so a full-frame body needs its S35 crop mode.

Why can’t I use Canon FD lenses on a Canon EF camera?

FD lenses expect the sensor 42 mm away; EF bodies put it at 44 mm. The lens ends up 2 mm too far forward and loses infinity focus. Glass adapters fix that but soften the image, so people either replace the mount (EdMika conversion kits) or use a mirrorless camera, where FD adapts trivially.

What is a speed booster?

A focal reducer: an adapter with optics that squeezes a full-frame image circle onto a smaller sensor. You get a wider field of view (typically 0.71x) and about one stop more light. It only works when the lens covers more than the sensor needs — full-frame glass on Super 35 or Micro Four Thirds.

Will an adapted lens keep autofocus and iris control?

Only with an electronic adapter, and only for electronic lenses — in practice Canon EF glass onto Sony E, Canon RF, L-Mount, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X and MFT. Everything else is a plain ring: manual focus, and iris on the lens itself.

Does the lens cover my sensor?

Mounting and covering are separate questions. A Super 35 lens on a full-frame camera mounts fine but vignettes until you switch to the camera’s S35 crop mode. We flag every such pairing with “needs crop mode”.
