The Fotodiox DLX Stretch Adapter enables mounting of Minolta MD lenses to Sony E mount mirrorless cameras, providing enhanced focusing capabilities through its built-in helicoid mechanism. This precision adapter extends the lens from the camera body, allowing closer macro focusing than standard lens operation and correcting potential back focus issues. Constructed with all-metal components featuring chrome-plated brass mounts, the adapter ensures secure lens attachment without play, gaps, or wiggling during use. The integrated focusing helicoid functions similarly to a miniature bellows system, offering adjustable extension for precise focus control. Included are three magnetic drop-in filters (ND4, ND8, and ND16) for light management across various shooting conditions. This adapter maintains infinity focus capability while providing manual aperture control functionality. Compatible with numerous Sony mirrorless camera models including Alpha a7 series (a7, a7R, a7S, a7 II, a7R II, a7S II), Alpha a3000, a5000, a6000 series, NEX series cameras (NEX-3, NEX-5, NEX-C3, NEX-5N, NEX-7, NEX-F3, NEX-5R, NEX-6), and professional video models (PXW-FS7, NEX-VG10, NEX-VG20, NEX-VG30, NEX-VG900, NEX-FS100, NEX-FS700, NEX-EA50). The robust metal construction and precise machining deliver reliable performance for both photography and videography applications, facilitating the use of vintage Minolta MD lenses on modern Sony mirrorless camera systems with enhanced focusing flexibility.
