Hi Charles, no, it will not. The camera is an E-Mount model and would only accept E-Mount lenses without the use of adapters. Thanks_Mitch

the sal18135 is an A mount lens, and the Sony nex 6 takes an E mount lens.So the answer is noYou can buy an adapter to use A mount lenses on the E mount cameras, it is rather expensive by my way of thinkingYou are better off looking for an E mount lens

Hi Charles, this is an A-mount lens. To use it with the NEX-7 camera, you'll need to connect it via an adapter like LAEA 4. Thanks_Mitch

since auto-focus requires transfer of information between the camera and lens, these adapters WILL NOT work. I think your only option might be the SONY manufactured adapters, which do maintain a complete connection between camera and lens. I own three of these adapters; Sony Alpha, Leica Thread, and Pentax Thread mount. All allow me to use the NEX body as a "digital back" for my excellent 35mm film lenses. Hope that helps. And there's nothing wrong with full manual operation; you can see the effects of adjustment on the LCD screen before you take the picture. Hope this helps. And the Sony adapters start around $250...

Yes, because sony a7 E-Mount and this adapter work well for any sony dslr camer have E-MountExample: I Have Sony Nex5N and this camera have E -Mount and buy this adapter because I have f-mount Nikon lens 70-300 but you must have triples because you will use manual mode

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

Hi Brandon, This lens is compatible on the A7 camera. No adapter needed. Vincent

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.

The answer is YES, providing your lens is the Sony/Minolta Alpha version. The adapter is specifically for mounting Sony/Minolta Alpha lenses on Sony E mount cameras such as the a6000 while retaining the Auto Focus feature of the lens. I've had the adapter when I had a Sony NEX 7 camara. I used it with various Sony Alpha lenses mounted on my NEX 7 and all the lenses performed well as expected.

You're out of luck --- here's a page from Sony that lists adapters (at bottom of the page for NEX) --- unfortunately I think the NEX 6/7 are referred to as the first Alpha type camera....so the NEX-3/5 items don't work. But it appears that the 6/7 have a much wider variety of flashes than the strange/proprietary mounts on the 3/5.http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=634&mdl;=SLTA58

Yes, any E-mount lens works with the Nex series or the newer alpha series such as the A7's.

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!

That adapter is for an older version of Minolta lenses (not autofocus). Its meant to the e mount, the Sony mirror less bodies. This lense will fit your camera without an adapter. The Sony a mount hasn't changed from the most recent AF Minolta mount.

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...
