FS5: Can the FS5 accept A-Mount lenses natively?

[brandonanthony1]

I've been looking into this and can't find any information if the lenses can mount natively. Do I need an adapter, or will the lens go right on?

Thanks

Use an Alpha-to-E-mount adapter such as the Sony LAEA-4
(There have been several generations of adapters - I haven't kept track)

Check out these videos. From 2014 but still pretty relevant. With the later Metabones adapters and the newer software on the cameras some of this may have changed but Dan Chung gives a pretty good overview of the A Mount lenses on the E-Mount FS7. I think a lot of this would, could apply to the FS5.

The FS5 and FS7 cameras are E-mount, not A-mount, so A-mount lenses can not be mounted natively without an adapter. If you want to use an A-mount lens on a FS5, you’d need an adapter such as the Sony LA-EA3 or LA-EA4 adapters.
