Sony NEX Aperture Control for Canon EOS Lenses



Conurus has developed the electronic interface between a Sony NEX body and a Canon EOS / EF lens. This allows the aperture of a Canon EOS lens to be controlled by the Sony NEX.

Normally Canon EOS lenses are at minimum aperture when they are not on a Canon body. The lenses do not have aperture rings and when used with an adapter on a Sony NEX body, the aperture cannot be changed. This Conurus system changes that.

Hopefully they can miniaturize the system.

    Cool, but this is just a start. The real tool shall not change the lens apperture while you are changing the A-number at the NEX. The apperture shall stay wide open (for easy manual focusing) and only close to selected value at the time of shooting.

    @Евгений and with a DOF preview button. I hope future E-mount lenses include this.

    We have decided to take down our "proof-of-concept" video posted on YouTube on March 12, 2011 because now that the actual product has shipped on January 18, 2012, there is no point showing the crude prototype any more. We will create and show a video of the final product on YouTube soon.

How To Install OpenMemories AppStore

OpenMemories App Shown on Camera's Application Tab DHI Enterprises shows us how to install a third party application for Sony Cameras which support the PlayMemories Camera Apps. The third party OpenMemories AppStore can now be installed using the same method shown. WARNING from the OpenMemories AppStore developer: Is it safe? This is an experiment in a very early stage. All information has been found through reverse engineering. Even though everything worked fine for our developers, it could cause harm to your hardware. If you break your camera, you get to keep both pieces. We won't take any responsibility. However, this seems to be safer than tampering with your camera firmware directly. We're just interacting with the isolated Android subsystem. Apps you install this way can be uninstalled in the applications manager. In the worst case, a factory reset of the camera clears all data on the Android partitions. How To Install OpenMemories AppStore on your Sony C
