Does this lens work for full frame Sony Alpha 7? If so, does it automatically focus? Thank you!

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.

May work on a Sony you will have to check the site to see if they have a mount for your camera. No as to auto focus which I keep turned off anyway. It has it place if you don't have time to compose.

William I am using this device on my Sony A6000 (successor to the NEX-7) and I can control all lens functions including auto focus via the camera. I have not used the A7S, but I assume it would work similarly to the A6000. Happy shooting!!!

HI J.W., this is a DT lens for use on APS-C cameras only. Alpha 99 being a full frame camera, this lens won't work on the Alpha 99 as expected. Following is an extract from this lens's brochure: "Lenses marked "DT" (Digital Technology) should only be used on APS-C format cameras because their image circle isn't large enough to fully cover a 35mm full frame sensor. If you do use a DT lens on a full-frame camera, expect to see a darkening of the image towards the edges of the frame (vignetting). Although only E-mount lenses can be directly mounted on E-mount cameras, DT lenses can be mounted on these cameras via an optional adaptor."

Rusk,According to Sony's website, this lense is compatible with alpha NEX-3, alpha 57, alpha 58, alpha 65, and alpha 77. None of them are full frame. I used for my alpha 65, and it works great.

Those lenses, while E Mount, are designed for use with an APS-C size sensor. For the Sony A7, you want to use an E Mount lens designed for full frame sensors. Using Full Frame lenses will yield best results. However, that said, the Sony A7 does have an APS-C mode which will allow you to use these lenses with that camera. But when you use the APS-C mode, you will not get the full resolution the sensor is capable of producing. I understand there may also be some metering issues when using the APS-C mode.

There are two versions. One is for Micro 4/3 and the other for Sony. Neither requires an adapter and works well with auto focus and aperture. Excellent lens for the price.

This will allow the use of a Canon FD manual focus lens on a Sony Alpha. It is NOT for the new style Canon AF lenses for the digital Canon. Also, in the menu of the Sony, the camera has to be set to fire without lens attached. This is in the custom menu listed as Release w/o lens and it must be set to enable. Make sure that you can find this option in the menu before you purchase the adapter. Not all of the Sony's have this ability and the entry level models may not. Put the mode dial on P,A,S, or M to check out the full menu.

It is compatable with my Sony a65. It should be compatable with a77 also, having same menu for shutter opening without lens getting ENABLED, and with manual mode with manual focus setup. The exposure is controlled with by using histogram and exposure scale display. But no auto focus, no aperture control. I use it with old manual focus lenses with further adding lens adapters, enabling me to varry the apperture and focus manually.. Hope this is satisfactory.

I use the Zeiss 24-70mm with the Sony a77, which technically is not a full frame, although it produces images that surpass many full frame options. But yes, my research also revealed that this lens will work with the a99, which is indeed a full frame camera and has a few more bells and whistles than the a77.

Yes, it does auto-focus. I now use it on a micro four-thirds camera which requires that I use an adaptor. This slows the auto-focus.

I just got an Alpha 58 and put my ancient 70-210 zoom on. Not only did it work, but when I turned it to full zoom (AKA "macro" position) and focused close, the screen lit up a green "MACRO" mode indication with the little flower. So it properly recognized a specific detailed function from a 25-year-old lens!

Yes, this is s full frame lens. And very easy to use on sony a99 with focus peaking.

Hello. The Sony Alpha cameras are A mounts. I regularly use this lens on both my a77 and a77II. It works very well!

This lens is an a-mount, FT lens. If attached to the A7 with the correct adapter, such as the LA-EA4, AF and AE will function properly. However, as a DT lens, it will produce significant vignetting and clipping at the edges of the frame unless the reduced sensor area mode is enabled. I would absolutely recommend against using this lens with any full frame camera.

Yes, this lens is designed for a full frame sensor. It is a little on the slow side, but still an excellent lens

Hi, I apologize but I cannot find the dialogue from the seller where we spoke of this. I believe this lens worked for both full frame and those with a crop factor. I tried to verify via Tamron's site direct, but can no longer find the lens. You would need to find one with a mount that fits your Canon, or find an adapter.

It works really well. Between my friend and I, we have the Canon 6D and 7D and use it all the time with both. Works perfect with auto focus. This is ALWAYS on my camera!
