I recently bought this canon macro lense to pair with this adapter for my Sony A6000, but it does not seem to be compatible, although I have had success with other off brand canon lenses. Does anyone have any solutions or good lens adapters they have used with success? thanks in advance! ?

Howdy - Question, I have a Sony a5000, 5300 and 6000 (e mount) and I'm looking for an adapter for the Sony e mount so I'm able to use my Nikon 1 Nikkor Lens (Nikon 1 Nikkor 18.5mm f/1.8 and Nikon 1 Nikkor 11 - 27.5mm). I believe the Nikon's are G mount lens and I've read multiple articles with different suggestions. Any and all help would be much appreciated. And I'm looking to keep it a low cost as possible. Appreciate it! Cheers, Btlyle (@sonyatlanta)

I got my a6000 for an upcoming trip and so far really enjoying it, particularly the ability to adapt my older Canon and Olympus lenses. Some questions however... when shooting in the studio, the exposure is set for my strobes and usually something like f8 and 1/125th. For my manual (e.g. Olympus) lenses, this renders the viewing images extremely dark and makes manual focusing quite difficult. This is logical since the camera doesn't "know" about the strobes and sets the viewfinder to match the modeling lights. Is there a work around? same for color temp. Shooting in the studio temp is set for strobe but since the modeling lights are tungsten the preview in the finder is much too yellow. My canon lenses can only be used at maximum aperture since they don't have a manual aperture ring. I've read awful reviews of expensive adaptors that autofocus very poorly... do they at least connect to enable aperture control? Thanks!
