Canon lenses on Sony Alpha 6000 - so it is possible

If you still have a lens from Canon and want to use it on your new Sony Alpha 6000, it is not so easy. Since the manufacturers use different lens mounts, it only works with the help of an adapter. Read which adapters are suitable.

Sony Alpha 6000: This is how connecting a lens from Canon is possible

Because each camera manufacturer uses its own connectors for its lenses, it is not so easy to screw a lens from Canon to the Sony Alpha 6000. While Canon uses EF or EF-S mount lenses for its cameras, the Sony Alpha 6000 uses an E-mount. Therefore, in order for the connection of a Canon lens to the Sony camera to work, you need a suitable adapter.
