Q: 3. Is ok to use in full frame a7s? No vignet in corner?

A: Being that this adapter takes full frame 35mm lenses, it will not cause vignetting when using the adapter on the A7S.

Q: 4. I want to use this with my Nikon G 70-300 mm lens (which is somewhat heavy). Does the foot have a 1/4-20 thread machined in it so I can mount my Manfrotto plate taking the stress off the NEX-6 tripod socket when using this lens on a tripod?

A: Yes it does. The foot of the adapter is designed to fit into Arca-Swiss type quick release assemblies, but can be removed to reveal a standard 1/4-20 thread size to connect to standard tripod heads and plates.

Q: 5. Is there a crop factor with this adapter?In other words, if I use my Nikor 50mm 1.2, is it going to be a 50mm on a Sony FS7 or F5?thx M

A: Crop here wont be a factor of the Metabones adapter. Both the Sony FS7 and F5 are super 35mm cameras, which have roughly the same size sensor as an APS-C size sensor camera. So, In terms of DSLRs, there would be a crop factor of 1.5X. Any 50mm lens shot on these cameras would have an angle of view roughly equivalent to a 75mm lens shot on a full frame camera. While there are adapters that can help compensate for this (such as the Speed Boosters), this adapter is a normal adapter and will not have an effect on crop factor. That being said, as others have posted, if you use the adapter with full frame lenses on a full frame camera (such as the a7 series), there shouldnt be vignetting.

Q: 6. How do you install it? I put it on the lens but it won't click secure/tight.

A: There is nothing special about it. It connects to the camera like any Sony lens, and the lens connects to it like any Nikon lens connects to a Nikon camera.

Q: 7. Can This adapter works to attach my AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD (nikon Mount) to the Sony A7s ?

A: Yes, they are fully compatible.

Q: 8. Hi, will this work with the sony a7r plus the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Lens? Thanks

A: You could use the Metabones Nikon G Lens to Sony NEX Camera Lens Mount Adapter to mount a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens for Nikon on the Sony a7R, yes.

Q: 9. Do C-mount lenses cover the full frame of the Sony A6000 sensor, or is there vignetting?Thanks!
