From time to time I pick up inexpensive and often old lenses and convert them to Sony E mount.

I have a Sony 5000 with almost a Dx sized sensor and it has a mount to sensor distance of about 18mm, compared to Nikons about 46mm.

A lot of these adaptations work reasonably well but are clumsy and not reliable, sort of like when shooting film, where a few cover shots with the D850 can on occasion, save the day.

The Sony style FF will not require any bells and whistles, just the basics to see how these lenses hold up with a larger sensor.
