Sony LAEA4 Overview

The black A-Mount to E-Mount Lens Adapter from Sony enables you to attach virtually any A-mount lens to an Alpha E-mount full-frame digital camera body. Teleconverters and Minolta XI lenses are not compatible. The adapter features a built-in AF motor, aperture-drive mechanism and Translucent Mirror Technology to enable full-time, continuous, TTL phase-detection autofocus. AF is supported with all A-mount lenses except STF models, and auto exposure will be enabled with all compatible lenses.

Translucent Mirror Technology effectively directs light to both the imaging and focus sensors simultaneously, enabling AF to work seamlessly even during video recording and continuous shooting. For video, aperture is fixed at the maximum f/stop of the lens or at f/3.5, whichever is lower.

The adapter is configured with a tripod mount for supporting large, heavy lenses. An ALC-B55 camera body cap, ALC-R1EM rear lens cap and carrying pouch are supplied.

question

While shooting video with a compatible 1.8 or 2.8 lens using auto focus, would the aperture be fixed at 3.5 or can be stopped down to 1.8/2.8 ?
Asked by: Anonymous
The adapter has full electronic transfer of Amount lenses. If your camera model has the ability to change f/stop while shooting video it will still retain that feature.

question

Hello everybody. Just wanted a definite answer about this using A-mount lenses from a third party makers. i want to throw a sigma 35mm 1.4 Art series on the adapter for autofocus on my Sony A7 , will it work properly like autofocus and using as well as changing the Aperture . Just want a final word on the subject since there is alot of contradicting information on that Interweb. Thanks Alex

You will be able to use third party A-mount lenses, such as a Sigma lens, on the Sony A-Mount to E-Mount lens adapter with Translucent Mirror Technology, so long as the lens in question is for Sony A-Mount. This adapter will allow TTL phase detection autofocus, as well as auto exposure and aperture drive.

question

The same question as with la-ea3:can you use focus magnifier (enlarging the image in manual focus mode) with this adapter ? With la-ea1 it is possible but with la-ea2 enlarging the image in MF mode is not possible ?!Should be the same with full frame adapters, at least I think so:la-ea3 possible, la-ea4 not possible.
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, just like the LA-EA3 adapter, the LE-EA4 will also permit the use of focus magnifier/peek focusing when shooting in MF mode.

question

HiIm looking at buying the QX-1 from sony (yet to be released) but currently have an Sony a77 with Sigma lens (forgot the exact one). Will I be able to mount my future A lenses with the QX1 using this adapter? I do not want to buy 2 different styles of lenses.Would I be better of buying e-mount lenses and converting to a mount or the other way around. I thought form A-> e is the better option (plus I have existing A lenses already).
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, the Sony A Mount to E Mount adapter (LAEA4) will allow you to mount Sony A mount lenses on the QX-1. If you already have existing A mount lenses, there isn't really any need to start buying E mount lenses if your plan is to use those A mount lenses with this adapter.

Asked by: Weihong
My sony A5000 is an e-mount. This lens adapter allows me to use sony A-mount lenses (more of them - has been around longer) on my sony e-mount camera. If your camera is an E-mount, this will work if you desire to use any of the A-mount lenses.
