This purchase was a series in building a perfect situation. I have this connected to my Sony G 70-200 and I love it. It lives on the lens

Great to use type A lens on Sonya7RV

The Good, I can use my Sony a Mount from my Sony SLT A77M2 with my Sony a7RV. Focusing while taking photos is fast, accurate, no issues at all. The Bad: I can only shoot at 26 MP not at 61 because the camera goes into crop mode, but the 26 mp photos are great. The issue happens on Video, it will not autofocus on video mode, it only works as a Manual Focus lens.

Works okay

This adapter did not work for what I need it for. It does attach well to camera and my A lens did attach well to the adapter, but it did not work with my sony A mount wide angle lens. Photo was darker and not as sharp as they normally are when lens is attached to my A77mrk camera. It does work, but not for what I need.

Got the LA-EA5 adapter for my new a7RV, to work with my A-mount lenses. Works great, even with a 40yr-old Minolta 28-85mm lens!!

Lot of help

I got this adaptor instead of having to replace all my lenses. Focus is a little slower but good compromise

I purchased this adapter right after it came out. Then I had an A7lll. It did not work at all on my stable of A mount lenses. I was quite upset with Sony, and felt they had screwed with their fan base, and returned it to B&H. But recently I bought an A7lV, and found out that my LA-EA4 was unusable with my new camera. So in researching, I found out that the LA-EA5 does work. I decided to purchase it again, because B&H is so reliable if I was unhappy. Well this sucker works miracles with my A7IV! My 12-24 Sigma, my 85mm Minolta, and all other A mount lenses now get eye focus on my camera. This is nothing short of amazing, and I'm happy I tried this a second time. It only works with selected Sony cameras. There should be an easier way to identify what bodies it works with. But it is amazing when it does!!!!

Works fine for some lenses (if they are newer)

I am into photography for over 50 years and just switched from an Sony A99 to a Sony A7R III. I have a ton of older lenses (well some Minolta lenses from 40 years ago to some Tamron and Sigma lenses). The Sigma Lenses 70 - 200 and 150 - 500 work fine with this Adapter and that is 3000$ worth of lenses right there I can still use on the new camera. That is worth it for sure. I wish more lenses were supported like my 85mm 1.4, my 28mm 1.8 and my 50mm 1.8 but oh well.

Big Improvement!

Trimmer adapter without all the bulky undercarriage. Be sure to check what A lenses work with this adapter and your camera.

Sony’s reveal trailer stated that there’s not Autofocus in movie recording. Is this true for just phase detect AF or is AF not possible with this adaptor?
Asked by: Brian
While Austin is correct that you can do it with the LA-EA4 it's not the only option. The LA-EA2 works the same but is for APS-C sensors. You can even use AF with Screw Drive lenses.

Currently what bodies support screw drive lenses with the la-ea5?
Asked by: David
According to Sony, it depends on your specific lens model and the camera body combination as to whether you would retain autofocus capability with your particular screw-mount lens. Sony states that as there is no "one-size-fits-all" answer to your inquiry, it is best to contact them directly with the lens models you own and the camera body you own or are considering purchasing so they can check your specific camera/lens combination with the LA-EA5 lens mount adapter. You may contact Sony either by calling them at 1-239-245-6360 or by using the Live Chat feature on the support page of their website.
