Checking that site, I see Fotodiox have quite a range of them for various cameras including Sony. I have a Mamiya 645 with 150mm and 80mm lenses, but, as I don't generally do architectural shots, never thought of looking for one. Mind you, I'm doing less photography than ever at the moment. However, I DID have my second Pfizer jab two hours ago, and got a letter earlier this morning confirming my appointment at a new Long CoVid clinic next month, so maybe I'll be running around photographing all and sundry shortly!
