Yes. The first answer is correct. You have to set the camera to open the shutter even when there is no lens, then adjust everything manually. As he says, as long as you make all the adjustments yourself, it works, just as all cameras worked back in the 1960's. For me, that was too much trouble. So I got a lens that works with the camera. The Sony made Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS is a low cost prime with the best rating for clarity from Dxomark and it also has the OSS which very few prime lenses have, so it's the obvious choice

The adapter provides no electrical connection between the camera and the lens - the camera really thinks there's no lens attached! I have a Sony NEX-6, and I solved the problem (with help from another customer) by going to the camera's menu, selecting "Setup", then scrolling until I found "Release w/o Lens". Click on that option to enable it, and the camera will shoot. Of course, with the adapter there's no autofocus or aperture control - you have to do those on your own. But it works fine!

Hi, I'm sorry. I am no expert on these lenses.. I bought it, on amazon, after discovering it was compatible with the Sony NEX5R that I bought... I have no other knowledge about them. Good luck...

Since this lens has no electronics, it's normal for the camera to not recognize its presence. You need to go into the the setup menu of the camera and enable "Release w/o lens". This will allow you to use your NEX-7 with fully manual lenses like this one

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.

I think it depends on the camera you are using. For the NEX Sony I needed a $24 adapter. Email METZ. They do respond.

This adaptor did not match my lenses. I returned it and never took a pic through it. Good Luck!

Check the spec's properly at the sony site. I bought this for my NEX7 because it was the one suggested in the Amazon description. I still have it because I through out the packaging so its useless to me. Check at Sony.com to make sure its compatible.

Not sure if it will work, but I do know it works with my NEX3 ... if I use the lens I set the camera to work without a lens, then it works, just some automatic settings don't as it's a manual lens.

It connected perfectly but the camera came back with a message that it did not recognize the lens and would not take a picture. I have not set the camera in the total manual mode to try that yet and that may be the answer. However, since the connectors are so thick they make the camera with the attached lens very uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

This does not sound normal.i had a tokina 11-16 on a nex7 with adapter and worked fine.try checking the lens on another camera just to make sure the problem is consistent.

You need a adapter -sony sells two but don't do it they are slow. I use the Sony E-Mount 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 on my 5N It was a heavey video lens not designed for the nex but it's my favorite.I also used it on my Nex 3 before they came out with the smaller Nex len 55-210 that is over priced junk by the way-theres also the zeiss Sony SEL2470Z FE 24-70mm f/4 Lens"very spendy" both of these weight a lot but great on the Nex

No Matt, it is not. However, look at X-Mount lens adapters for the X-E1 on the internet. You might be able to adapt and use the Sony NEX series lenses with adapter.

Many thanks for replying. Have just ordered an adapter ( cheaply), as I only wanted the lens to play around with. Lesson learnt ; Hubby cannot buy lenses without me knowing what he's paying out for !!

Dear Rachelle, I have the same camera (NEX5) and it's needs, but I do not see the E-mount here. It means we (NEX-owners) are needing something like LAEA1 Mount Adaptor ;)

You have to put your camera on manual. This adapter doesn't connect to the camera the same way an already compatible lense would.
