Using the Sony NEX-VG900 camcorder body with the LAEA-2 (G to A-mount w/AF) adapter, will the still shots use the entire full-frame sensor to produce full-frame stills (6000x4000pixels)? Or will this lens auto crop down to APS-C? It seems my Zeiss SAL2470Z must use the LAEA-3 adapter to get 6000x4000px stills. Is it the same for the 70-300G lens?

I am so sorry but I am afraid that I do not know the answer to this question as I am not acquainted with the camcorder and adapter that you are using.

Michael,As I understand this lens was made by Sony as a DT(APS-C), so the VG should auto-crop based on the communication of the VG900 with this lens. Since it is all Sony, it should work automatically, but check your settings too. The LAEA-2 adapter only works for crop mode as I understand, so probably why your Zeiss behaved that way. Sony still has to fully address full frame on Nex system, maybe in 2014.

You can purchase a Sony LA-EA1 or LA-EA2 adapter for true A mount to E mount cameras. Sony has also released a version LA-EA3 and LA-EA4 but not sure on true compatability for your Nex6.

Yes...and no. The mount is the same, but the area covered will be cropped. Sony has just released 2 or 3 new Zeiss lens for the full frame format. I would recommend the new lenses.

There are 2 versions for the NEX cameras, EA and EA2 which shown here. The EA is just an adapter for the A mount lenses. EA2, you get all the controls and metering available from the lenses. I've had two of the EA2 for my NEX7 and 5N. Worked very well.

Cindy, I purchased an EA1 adapter and returned it. Although it was a nicely constructed adapter it caused me to loose 1F stop from an already slow lense and it did not carry forth full auto focus capabilities, only auto exposure. I'm still searching for better options. These appear to be the differences: AE1- Converts Sony A/ Minolta mount to E mount. Auto exposure but no or limited auto focus. AE2- Converts Sony A/ Minolta mount to E mount. Auto focus, auto exposure w/ transluecent mirror. AE3- Same as AE1 but updated model. AE4- Same as AE2 but updated model If you really want an EA 1 or 2 there are other internet suppliers that still have these in stock.

I bought mine used and the seller I got it from had the body only but it was like new. And for the kit lens, as I've stated, I didn't get mine with the kit lens but I will say I use the nex f3 with an la-ea2 adapter with Sony dt 35mm f1.8 Sam lens. It works beautifully for beginners. But I am an enthusiast and hobbyist photographer and I will get a semi pro or pro level dslt camera from Sony in future.

Have tried to use adapter with Sony nex5. Purchased the Nikon adapter and even though lenses connect OK the nex 5 keeps saying put lens on correctly. tried the only way it can go and nothing seems to change it. help.

Sorry, the other answer is wrong. The current e-mount lenses will work on this camera, however they will be in crop mode. This means the camera will detect that it is not a full frame lens and only use part of the sensor. In reverse, the full frame lenses will work on the current NEX line up. In that situation it will just waste the capability of the lens.

I just upgraded to the A99 from my A65 (keeping both, and some of my prime lenses that will work on the A99 also). If you shoot a lot of low light and portrait photography (I do) or serious professional work full frame is a big improvement for noise and a better sensor. If you shoot a lot of daylight subjects and sports type photography, and don't want to carry around a much heavier (and slower) camera, or invest in a group of new lenses (the 24-70 Zeiss zoom cost as much as the camera body) you might want to look at the A77II. FYI a lot of the older Minolta lenses are compatible with the A99 and can be had for much cheaper than the full frame Sony lenses.

The A7ii is a full frame camera, so the sensor is larger than the sensor for which the SEL35f18 was designed. There should be a "crop mode" in the A7ii that will crop the image to only use the central region over which this lens is designed to be used. To avoid this issue, you need to buy "full frame" lenses that fill the entire image (e.g.http://store.sony.com/sonnar-t-fe-35mm-f2.8-za-full-frame-e-mount-prime-lens-zid27-SEL35F28Z/cat-27-catid-All-Alpha-NEX-Lenses)

Hi mdshd, this Sony SAL35F18 has an APS-C sensor (25.1 mm) which means that is not a full frame (35 mm). -Ely

The LA-EA1 will work with Builtin Motor Lenses in AF other lenses Manual Focus only. The LA-EA2 wil AF on any AF Alpha Lens Its Phase Detection. Sony will have 2 more Adapters in Dec of this year EA3 & EA4 The EA4 is for thye A7r 36MPIX Camera. EA3 will work on your NEX 7. Go to www.dpreview.com to see more details & info. I would Buy one the Newer Versions. Ok

I have used the Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS on my NEX 7 and on the Sony A7, but I have not used it on the A6000 so I cannot be of help to Kenny. Sorry.

Yes, BUT you'll need to use one of the Alpha Lens to e-mount adapters for that; Either the LAEA3 (limited autofocus support) or the LAEA4 (translucent mirror and full autofocus support). I use it with LAEA2 (older version of LAEA4) on my NEX-6 and it works as a native lens. The LAEA4 is the newer version of the LAEA2 and now supports full frame lens as well as A-Lens.

The LAEA4 gives you all the features below Nex Mount Adaptor? Which one? Need more details to answer.with A mount lenses.Focus Points : 15-point AF system with 3 cross sensorsAF Modes : Continuous AF, Single-shotFocus System : TTL phase detection system

The SAL18135 lens is an A-mount lens, while the NEX 6 has an E mount. You would need an E-mount to A-mount adapter, such as the Sony LA-EA4 adapter or LA-EA3 adapter. Check the features of both adapters (the LA-EA4 gives autofocus, but costs more, both take A-mount lenses).

Is it Fullframe? Yes. Will it work on the a7? If you use LA-EA3 or LA-EA4 adapters with the a7, it will work.
