Is this for auto or manual focus?

This can only be used for manual focus. There are no electronics built into this device.

This is for manual only. I am using an old Minolta manual lens from the 70s and it works great. You will have to manually set everything, but the quality of pictures is outstanding (because the lens is better glass than the one that comes with my camera kit)

You have to use manual focus with all adapters. Well not all per say but the ones that have electronics for the autofocus cost alot. we are talking 300$

The mount will allow you to use older, manual focus lenses on your micro four thirds mount camera. This mount is particular for Minolta manual focus lenses. I was very happy with this product, and it worked wonderfully.

The general reason for getting this adapter is to use an older (pre-digital era) lens on a newer micro-four-thirds digital camera. If you use this adapter, there will be no communication between the lens and the camera. So you'll have to focus manually using the focus ring on the lens, and also set the lens' aperture manually using the aperture ring on the lens. If you have a newer Minolta/Sony lens with auto-focus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_AF), it may be a different mount than the MD or MC mount (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_SR-mount) that this adapter is for.

This adapter provides NO electrical connections betwen the camera body and the legacy lens. So there is no mechanism to focus the lens except your fingers :-) This is true for many of the inexpensive adapters, especially the early entries in the field. If you have any more specific questions, write to Fotodiox -- they were very responsive when I had a problem.

Yes it is. I use it in manual setting with my 70-300mm lens. It does not work well with auto focus when the lens is opened fully to 300mm.

It's working fine with the autofocus mode on your lens, would also work with the manual focus but you would have to preset the focus on the lens.Michael

Yes, you can focus manually. Manual focus is on the lens. Just circulate the lens, and you will manual focus the camera.

You can control auto-focus. Portrait mode defocuses the background, which you can avoid by shooting in another mode.

It screws on to the front of your lens. There are adapters for different lens diameter sizes.Yes it does work in auto - both auto focus and auto shooting mode.

If your lens has an M setting (most do) you can focus manually in all camera modes. You may not like the results, however so be sure to try all the options and practise a lot. Have fun!

The manual focusing is "by-wire". It's very natural, I found it easy to get used to and easy to use.

It does have auto-focus capabilities, although any macro work under f4.0 I would recommend manual override.

There are 3 switches outside of the lens. Top switch is called the limiter for limiting focus from full focus to limited range of focus so it doesn't hunt. Second switch is right below it which is your auto focus/manual focus. The last switch is for your optic stabilizer which involves off if attached to a tripod, option 1 which is used when hand holding, and option 2 that involves attached to monopod and moving in a panning motion.

I can only comment on it being autu focus. It focus nicely, automatically, very sharp pictures.

This is a purely manual lens. It does not auto focus on any camera body. If you buy the chipped version of the lens, you can set aperture from camera and you can see the green dot in view finder that helps in manual focusing.

First, please understand I am far from a pro so keep this in mind. To be certain I can answer as best I can and insure I do not missunderstand can you please explain the USM, USM & B piece? This lens is both auto or manual focus.

One can set it to auto or manual focus on the lens and it's easy to go from one to the other. Also there are settings for stabilization settings and 1.5 meters to infinity, or 3 meters to infinity, handy if there's a fence in the way. I love this lens.
