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!!

Thank you Sony! This adapter is Viagra for my Sony A-Mount lenses below. The focus and eye detect work fine when mounted on my A7IV They also work on my A7RII. I tried using the LA-EA4 adapter but it was a no-go.

Werll-built, may or may not work with your A-mount lens

Sleek, well built, completely functional with some Sony A-mount lenses, partially functional with others. My f2.8 16/50 SSM and f4-5.6 70/400 G SSM II work flawlessly. My f2.8/100 macro has to be manually focused. The best I can say about other, or non-brand, lenses (old Sony kit lenses, Tamron, etc.) is that you can screw them onto your E-mount camera and probably take a picture. My advice...the adapter is cheap; If you have A-mount lenses you don't want to give up, get it and experiment...but start looking around for affordable E-mount lenses.

Works well

I had to buy this because my LA-EA4 doesn't support autofocus for my old Minolta screw drive lenses. It works just as described and doesn't need a translucent mirror, which is a big improvement. The price is reasonable, too, so it gets full marks from me. However, I wish Sony could do better with their firmware updates and broaden the compatibility of the EA4 and EA5. They still sell cameras that can't fully use the latter, and the former is now discontinued, and limited on newer bodies.

Works Fantastic With My Sony A7mIV And Vin Minolta AF Lenses

I've gone lens crazy after buying this adapter! I've bought more than 25 A-Mount lenses including the 50mm f1.4, 50mm f2.8 Macro, 100mm f2.8 Macro, 85mm f1.4, 70-210 f4 zoom, Tokina 300mm f2.8, Sigma 50-500mm f4-6.3, 28-75 f2.8, 100-300mm f4.5-5.6, and many more. The AF works great on all of them... Whether Minolta/Sony/Sigma/Tokina they all AF fine. Even after my cataract surgery, my vision ain't great so AF lenses is the way I needed to go. This AF adapter only works with the latest Sony cameras such as the A7m4, A7RIV and the A6600 bodies. The AF doesn't work with my A7II or NEX5.

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

Second Time is the Charm!

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!!!!

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.
