Quick Summary
The FOTGA adapter ring lets an M42 screw mount lens fit a Sony E-mount mirrorless camera body. It is made from aluminium alloy with an anodised finish, and the adapter supports focus to infinity. It also supports AV and M mode.
This adapter is for buyers who want to use M42 lenses on compatible Sony E-mount cameras, including models in the Alpha, NEX and VG ranges named in the product details. It is a lens adapter rather than a smart electronic mount converter, so lens functions are limited to the fitting and manual use described.

- Lens mount: This adapter is for M42 screw mount lenses. Check your lens mount before ordering.
- Camera mount: It is intended for Sony E-mount mirrorless bodies. Check the exact camera model you plan to use.

Compatibility, Size and Fit
The adapter is listed for a range of Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, including Alpha, NEX and VG models. Because compatibility is tied to the exact camera and lens mount, check both the lens side and the camera body side before choosing an offer.
If you use a Sony body outside the named models, or a lens that is not M42 screw mount, this adapter is not the right fit.
What Else You May Need
You need an M42 screw mount lens and a compatible Sony E-mount mirrorless camera body. The adapter does not add automatic diaphragm or autofocus operation, so plan for manual lens use.
Common Buyer Questions
Does this adapter support autofocus?
No. Auto-focusing does not operate when using this adapter.
Can it focus to infinity?
Yes. Focus to infinity is stated as a supported feature.
Which lens mount does it take?
It is for M42 screw mount lenses.
Before You Decide
Check that your lens is M42 screw mount and that your camera is a Sony E-mount mirrorless body from the listed range. Also note that autofocus and automatic diaphragm function do not operate with this adapter, so it suits manual lens use rather than full electronic lens control.
