MonsterAdapter LA-NE1 Lens Adapter: N-mount to E-mount
The MonsterAdapter LA-NE1 lens adapter brings numerous autofocus benefits from Sony E-mount cameras to Contax N lenses. These include hundreds of autofocus points across the entire frame, eye-tracking for humans and animals, autofocus tracking, and real-time exposure metering in continuous shooting mode, among other features.
The Contax N system was jointly developed by Kyocera and Zeiss for autofocus film and digital SLR camera systems. It was launched in 2000 and discontinued in 2005.
All 9 classic Zeiss lenses from the Contax N-mount system can be used on Sony E-mount cameras with the MonsterAdapter LA-NE1.
- Automatic data transfer, autofocus, and aperture control for all 9 Contax N-mount Carl Zeiss lenses.
- Supports the lens's aperture ring.
- Supports autofocus tracking for human and animal eyes, provided the camera supports this feature.
- Supports high-speed continuous shooting and focus tracking if the camera supports this feature.
- Automatic activation of the camera's 5-axis image stabilization.
- Removable tripod mount
- Easily update the firmware by connecting the camera to a computer using a USB cable.
