Sorry, I only have the Nikon version of this lens. I don't know anything about any Sony versions of the lens.

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.

On;y with the adapter you can buy but honestly you will be better off buying one made for the E Mount.

I would think that as long as it is a camera with the E mount it will work...you just have to remember to set the camera to work/shoot without the lens as the adapter allows you to use lens that are not auto focus or designed to work with the E mount system. It requires you to know your f-stop and lighting to make sure you get the right exposure. Unless you still use a manual lightmeter.

You will need E-mount lenses. Lens Compatibility : Sony E-mount, (Sony A-mount, Minolta/Konica Minolta Maxxum lenses confirmed via optional LA-EA adaptor)

No. You will have to buy the one for the E mount. It's the same lens, but with a different mount.Al

Admittedly I don't know what the market is, but if I were you I'd be looking for E mount lenses over using alpha mount w/adapter.

You'd have to get an adapter. For some reason, Sony is the only camera manufacturer in the world that decided to create a different hot shoe mount. Very annoying for Sony users. They basically made it where you have to use a Sony flash... unless you're using it off camera, in which case you can use any flash.

You need the official Sony LA adapters. Remember, Sony makes cameras with both the new E-mount (mirrorless) as well as the old A-mount (which Minolta originally introduced in 1985, and Sony later adopted in their Alpha cameras). The adapters aren't necessarily cheap, but they will autofocus and everything, just like a native lens. Its worth it for me, as the adapter + old Minolta glass is STILL cheaper than the modern E-mount equivalents!

bought an adapter for my NEX to use with my Canon glass. Googled and saw them for A-mount as well.

Don't bother, description is misleading. No adapters for Sony come with it.

I'm trying to find out the same thing. There's someone selling a "adaptor" on eBay but I don't know what it actually does. He wants $30 for it. Another rip off.

Hi Elisa, no adapter required, it comes with everything .It works great on my t4i, and there is no physical difference between the two cameras. But the camera does not matter so much, it's the lens. I'm using it with a 18-55 lens, and it works awesome. Cheers.

Don't buy the adapter from Universal. Get an old Sony adapter. I bought the suggested one at Universal and it created noise. I found a website that says to use a Sony AC-E455A. It is 4.5 volts, but ACTUALLY puts out 6 volts. My neighbor had an old AC-E455D (same specs) and it works PERFECTLY with no added noise. Both abundant on eBay.

when I got this lens there was only one way, with the c-mount adapter. it looks like there is now the e-mount option, they probably just permanently attached the adapter to the lens. either should be fine

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 ;)

Each person who stated that you need an adapter thinks you said a7II, Sony's full-frame, mirrorless, E-mount camera...if that had been what you had asked, they'd be correct. However, since you said a77II, the mkII version of the a77 DSLR, you don't need one, it'll mount right to the camera.
