The Vello Autofocus
Lens Adapter allows for
attachment of Canon EF
and EF-S lenses to Sony’s
E-mount cameras. It
maintains autofocus and
autoexposure with AFcompatible Canon lenses.
The lens adapter is all-metal
construction, and the
inside is coated to reduce
internal reflections. The
2
tripod foot is detachable
and will work with most
brands of ball heads.
Note: For autofocus use lenses
with an Ultrasonic or STM
focusing motor.
The LAE-SE-CEF autofocus
and autoexposure will not
work with the Sony PXW-FS7
XDCAM camcorder.
