AMAZING!!!!

December 11, 2020
The LAEA5 works wonders on a Sony A7R iv. Now A mount lenses work 99% as good as the E mount native lenses. I put the Minolta 100mm macro f2.8 and it works just as good if not better than it did on the A99ii. The same goes for the 70 300 G. I didn't like the LAEA4 but the 5 is on a whole nother level. It's not bulky like the LA EA4.... Read More  Hide

Great if you have an A7R4!

January 28, 2021
I have an A7R4 and the three A-mount screw drive lenses I care about using with it work perfectly. However, I gave four stars rather than five because it needs to support screw drive AF on more bodies, both already released and all new bodies in the future. No screw drive AF support for the a7c is very disturbing since it came out after the LA-EA5. I'm going to say I would recommend it to a friend, but only if it currently supports the lenses you have with the bodies you have.... Read More  Hide

Good With Supported Lenses

April 03, 2021
I purchased the adapter along with the a7iii body to allow me to continue to use my Alpha Mount lenses in conjunction with my a99 body. With the SAL-70200G 70-200mm F/2.8 APO G zoom, performance was about the same, but with more in focus shots than on the a99, but slightly slower performance, and a little hunting in low light/ low contrast (red logo on black leather) than on the a99 (which caught the focus quickly and smartly). If anything, the focus was actually FASTER on the a7iii with the SAL-2470Z 24-70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* AF SSM zoom. I expect similar results with the Sony SAL-1635Z 16-35mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* AF SSM zoom. With both the Sigma 50 mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM AF, and Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM AF primes, the autofocus exhibited some of the "jackhammer" focusing issue (that originally needed re-chipping for the a99); more so with the 85mm than the 50mm. It was not unexpected and not a deal breaker. The only disappointment was that af does not work with the Sony SAL-135F18Z 135mm f/1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* AF prime. I do ted to grab manual focus with this one a lot, but I do hope Sony will eventually provide a firmware update for this lens with the a7iii. 3 Days after getting the camera and adapter, it was out in the field working right next to the a99. All in all, pretty satisfied; hoping for a new firmware update to include the a7iii.... Read More  Hide

Waiting for an update

January 13, 2021
It is not possible that it is only compatible with only 2 camera models. I own many valuable lenses including the 135 zeiss, but it doesn't work with my A7r2. i hope sony will update soon as it is not acceptable that it does not work on such expensive cameras.... Read More  Hide
