Sony NEX-C3
Sony NEX-5 E-mount

The E-mount is a lens mount designed by Sony for their NEX ("New E-mount eXperience") series of camcorders and mirrorless cameras.[1] In September 2013 Sony announces first model from new ILCE series with SLT like body.
Initially this mount is implemented in Sony Alpha NEX-3 and NEX-5.[2] E-mount integration into Sony camcorder products is provided with the Sony Handycam NEX-VG10.[3] On 24 August 2011 new products were announced, specifically the NEX-5N as a successor for the NEX-5, the NEX-7 as a prosumer product,[4] as well as the NEX-VG20 as the successor to the NEX-VG10. The Sony E-mount is also implemented on 35 milimeter video camera of Sony FS-100.[5] The successor to the NEX-3 named NEX-C3 was released a few weeks earlier. The NEX-C3 was replaced by the NEX-F3 in June 2012, which was succeeded by the NEX-3N in March 2013. The first third-party camera to use the E-mount is the Hasselblad Lunar, announced at Photokina on 18 September 2012 and expected to be released in early 2013.[6]

Available adapters

Due to the short flange focal distance of the Sony E-mount, many lenses can be adapted to be used on the Sony E-mount, although a crop factor will have to be taken into account most of the time, since all current cameras available in this mount (except for the NEX-VG900, which is a full-frame camera) are either APS-C or the similar Super-35mm format (NEX-FX100 and NEX-FX700) only.
Minolta, Konica Minolta and Sony A-mount lenses can be used via the Sony LA-EA1,[2] LA-EA2 and LA-EA3 camera mount adapters which provide electronic contacts and electro-mechanical diaphragm control. They allow the body to control the aperture of the lens and provide automatic exposure and Exif data support. The LA-EA1 and LA-EA3 support slow (2–7 seconds) contrast autofocus with SSM and SAM lenses, other lenses can be used with manual focus only.[3] Older samples of the LA-EA1, NEX-3 and NEX-5 require a firmware update for this to work. The LA-EA2 adapter supports fast phase-detection autofocus with all A-mount lenses (except for the few dedicated manual focus A-mount lenses), including screw-driven AF lenses. However, its translucent-mirror design requires an optical element in the light path and thus causes a light fall-off of about 30% for the autofocus to work. Also, it slightly decreases image quality. The LA-EA1 and LA-EA3 do not need optical elements in the light path and thus will not change image quality in any way. The LA-EA1 and LA-EA2 are designed to cover the APS-C format only, whereas the LA-EA3 is full-frame capable (when used on a full-frame camera).

The following lens mounts can be used on the Sony E-mount with the use of various adapters available from third-parties:[4]
