Fotodiox TOUGH E-Mount Adds Stability to Sony Cameras

October 30, 2014 By Eric Reagan

Fotodiox TOUGH E-Mount

Fotodiox has released a new replacement mount for Sony E-mount cameras. It’s called the TOUGH E-Mount.

Fotodiox TOUGH E-Mount-3

The problem with Sony’s two-piece lens mount is that part of it is plastic and that contributes to lens wiggle after lenses are secured on the mount. The lens wiggle, in turn, can lead to light leads and sub-par image quality.

Fotodiox TOUGH E-Mount-2

The TOUGH E-Mount is designed to replace the two-piece plastic and metal lens mount on Sony E-mount cameras as a single metal mount. The replacement process only takes about 5 minutes and you just need a small screwdriver to remove and replace four little screws.

The Fotodiox TOUGH E-Mount runs $39.95 and should be available this week. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

    There’s been some praise for this and some people who are really thinking it’s garbage. I think that at the price they’re asking, if you’re swapping lenses or using Metabones adapters, why not give it a shot. The people who are happy with this modification are very happy it seems.
