my question is:

Is it possible to use nikon's f-mount or canon's ef/ef-s mount lenses on Sony Alpha (apsc) cameras? Are thr adapters? If yes what please.

Nikon F yes but you have to replace the lens mount and it depends on the individual lens: Voigtlander lens for Sony cameras (ditto some Leica-R and Contax/Yashica lenses).

Canon EF/EF-S, no. freaking. way.

As I understand it, the mount throat on the Alphas is smaller than on the Canons, so the only mount you can adapt with simple rings is M42. All the other will require either an optical element or a mount replacement to achieve focus to infinity.

Also, I am from a pre-texting generation that learned to write words out in full. There's no character limit on board posts, and it makes things a lot easier to read if you refrain from SMS/text abbreviations. Yeah, I know. I'm an oldfart.
