Does the zoom-to-focus feature of the A7 work when using this adapter?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "zoom-to-focus" but what I can tell you is that manual focus works great with the adapter. Auto focus on the other hand doesn't work as well as it would with a native lens. It hunts for focus a lot and sometimes doesn't get what you are trying to focus on in focus.

My adapter arrived dead on arrival. I am in the middle of a high-profile shoot and desperately need this so I have been manually operating the focus of the linens. With no aperture control I have to operate the lens wide open. I am now hearing that many others are having the same problem.

next-7 use e-mount, this lens only work with camera a mount. for use in next-7, you need a lens adapter la-ea4 , but in this case don't work autofocus.

Hi K. Shulman. The port is doesn't exist on nex7, and I don't know any converter to make it work. It just work on the big alphas, I'm pretty sure on a77 and a99 works , because i have them, but i think it will work on a37, a65 also and others like that.

I use this lens with my Sony a7 with the Sony LA-EA4 E-Mount to A-Mount Full-frame Adapter. It is manual focus only, so takes time to focus. Nice bokeh, but one thing I found, you can't get close up shots, @3 ft is the closest if I recall. Great, however, for head/shoulder portraits and isolating subjects from background.

Hello, If the adapter allows you to mount the lens to the camera it will work but, you may have to focus manually. I am not familiar with your camera model so, check the owners manual about whether or not it will be able to use autofocus. Great lens by the way. I really liked it when I had my Pentax.

It's my understanding the Alpha lenses work on the A cameras... I have an a77.

It works very well with my nex6 with no major or minor problems.But note that not all accessories that have same shoe as the A7 will function.

The lenses I use all have an aperture ring so I don't use it. Not sure if a lens without would engage. Certainly I have no aperture control from my alpha7. The adapter ring only opens...if the lens ring is f8, you can only go wider on my lenses.

I am using a laea4 on my a7 with a tamron 70-300 and you can use optical zoom, clear zoom, and digital zoom. you can set a custom menu such as c3 and go to it at anytime. I was quite impressed with the images using all three. Hope this helps, Luke

I'm sorry, I don't know. I have never used the A7, but what I know about the adapter is that it is a manual one, you will loose all automatic functions of the lens, so it works best for the old Nikkor lenses, before they became all inclusive and automatic. Also as others suggested this is a full frame adapter, we also use it on the NEX 700, but there it uses only a portion of the frame. I hope this helps.

Yes, I use it on my a7R with a Fotodiox Canon to HasselbladV adapter to use V mount lenses. All manual focus though of course.

Yes, it should work. It will not be automatic focus though. You will have to set the A7 to fire the shutter with "no lens" attached.

My experience with adapters so far is the autofocus has not worked. Your camera is totally manual

The A7 is e-mount. This is a a mount lens. It should work with the a-mount adapter that is available for the e-mount cameras.

It will work with both the a7 and 7r, but only in cropped mode. This means the image will not be the full size of images taken with FE lenses like the 35mm and 55mm. I planned to get the NEX7 successor, but ended up getting the a7r. There are no wide angle lenses for the a7/a7r cameras, but I want to get the FE lenses for my new camera. The lens is brand new, and has only been taken out of the box one time.

No. The A77 is an A mount and this FE lens is an E-mount (F in FE stands for full 35mm frame coverage). I believe an adapter would be impossible.

Yes, I use on a A7r. You of course have to use one of the two A to E adapters.
