Will the beercan work fully with the NEX in auto-focus mode? I wasn't sure whether the AF adapter causes the lens to be used in manual focus mode only

If you have to use 'release without lens' function to use the adapter/lens, will be manual focus only.

Hi, I have an A58 and the beer can lens works perfectly in auto mode. Hope this helps... I am not sure about the mount on the Nex though !!!

You need this adapter for A-mount AF to work. Sony LA-EA4 A-Mount to E-Mount FF Lens Adapter with TMT

I use one of these with my NEX-7 camera. It provides compatible autofocus directly from the body (NOT manual). I have the first version of these, and while it does work, the autofocus is very slow (but works!). Maybe this newer version is better.

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...

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 use this lens/adapter with nex-f3, and there isn't any lens correction needed imho. The edge when wide open will be fuzzy-ish, but that adds a nice uniqueness to what you shoot with this lens, at least for me. It ain't a Leica, but that doesn't mean you can't get great photos from this fun to use lens. I bought a different adapter though, this one is a bit skimpy

I use an NEX 7 and it works fine. Ask your question on the dpreview forums where there is a lot of A7 talk.

This is compatible with A-Mount cameras. I believe the Nex-6 is e-mount. So you would have to get an A-mount to E-mount adapter. Be aware of the type of adapter you get if so you don't lose auto focus. Hope this helped you.

With the LAEA4 auto focus works when used with Alpha lenses. Otherwise you would have to manually focus which isn't sometimes but not for all shots.

I don't know if this works with this camera or not. If it is an NEX mount then yes. However you need to know that you will not have any f-stop control. All the electronic things won't work as this is just a dummy adapter, there are not electronic fittings. If that doesn't matter to you then that's okay. If you want f-stop control I'd find a different adapter for some of the older manual lenses where you can adjust the f-stop by using the f-stop ring on the lens.

Try putting your camera in manual mode. AF doesn't work with this adapter, so use it as a manual focus.

I use this lens with the NEX7, and it has become my most used lens. Some slight distortion on close ups but very predictable and does not mar the great quality shots. This is an extension lens, you can only use it with the basic wide angle. Together they make a very good flexible combination, and this clips on and off in seconds.

It all depends on what you want for focus. It works fine otherwise but for autofocus, it's very poor. Figure on manually focusing if you buy this adapter. Works fine for me but I don't use it with long lenses (because I never use long lenses)

Hi Sebastian, you can use the lens with the NEX6 with the use of an adapter. Thanks_Mitch

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.

It is not native e-mount, so you will need the lea-2 adapter (lea-1 will work, but is too slow). The adapter has phase detection and works well with the lens. The lens is big though, so you'll likely want a monopod for better handling with the nex-7.

It's working fine with the autofocus mode on your lens, would also work with the manual focus but you would have to preset the focus on the lens. Michael
