From what i have read, sony fucked up their mount systems, and you will probably have to wait until they make sense of it. I would shoot an email to Adorama and B&H and ask them if they know of any adapters, and just go to your local camera store.

not going to happen. Canon lenses need to sit .5mm closer to the sensor to achieve infinity focus. Adapters are at least 2-3mm thick, so that is out. Additionally, you would need a special (aka expensive) electronic one to control the aperture (unless it has a ring, which very few ef lenses do). What lens are you trying to adapt? There may be a version that comes in the sony A mount.
