Hello Martin, Go to your menu and navigate to the number one page. You'll see "Release w/o Lens", change that to enable and you're set! Hope that helps!

I have an A99 but I think the menu is similar. You have to go to menu, settings (looks like a spoked wheel), 1, and you should have an option that says "release w/o lens". You need to enable this option which allows the shutter to be fired without a supported lens attached. Hope this helps. Rob

1st, make sure your camera is in MF( manual focus) mode..I use the A57 and my AF/MF switch is located under the lens release button which is under the a57 logo, then go to your menus and scroll to "Release w/o lens" and select "ENABLE".....if that works your set, if not, then enter your menus (again, I'm going by MY a57) and scroll until you find 'LENS COMP: Shading, LENS COMP:dISTORTION ETC. and put them all on AUTO..put 'Front Curtain Shutter "ON"....Hope this helps Martin, good luck

I have an Alpha 37 Sony and purchased an adapter under the Minolta name to use the FD lenses from my A-1. The lenses work fine but the camera must be operated in manual mode.

The adapter is basically the same as a native A mount. There has been no cropping or vignetting on any lenses I've tried. There are a few APS A mount lenses out there, but any full frame lens will look great on the A7, with autofocus too!

Hi FJ, The Sony a7R is an E-mount camera and this is an A-mount lens. If you want to use this lens on your camera you'll need an adapter. -Anthony

I don't have an a7r. My uderstanding is that you can use it two ways. In the crop mode or in FF mode (with some loss, vignetting). My understanding is that this lens gives a bigger image than the APS-C so it can be used on the A7r with just a little loss in ff mode. If you got to the Nex forum on Digital Photographic Review and ask the question you will get answers from people who use this lens on that camera. It is a stunningly good lens that I think will handle the extra resolution of that camera without problems. I am considering moving from APS-C Nex to that camera but I would keep this lens for use on the A7r. I don't have an a7r. My uderstanding is that you can use it two ways.

I'm almost sure youre lens is good. As it is a prime lens, you cant control the f-stop with the camera body, so the the camera can't detect that there is a lens attached as it would with your kit lens. Go into your camera's menu, go to the section designated by the picture of the gear. Scroll down until you see the option that says "Release w/o lens" and enable it. You should be able to use the lens now.Hope this helps!-Andrew

The sony A7R uses the "E-mount" for lenses, that lense is an "A.mount. You will require this adaptor for that lense: A-Mount to E-Mount FF Lens Adapter w/ TMT

Many thanks for replying. Have just ordered an adapter ( cheaply), as I only wanted the lens to play around with. Lesson learnt ; Hubby cannot buy lenses without me knowing what he's paying out for !!

No, it is a dt lens which means it is for crop sensors. The a7 is a full frame. On top of that the the a7 uses the e-mount and this is an a-mount meaning it would also require an adapter to work properly.

Hi - Just double-checked a couple of OM lenses on my Sony a7r using this adapter. I want to make sure I'm completely understanding the question: if you're asking whether there will be any vignetting of the image, the answer is no (except to the extent that a specific lens shows some light falloff at the edges, but that's not an adapter issue, and you'd have the same phenomenon on an OM film body). If the question is whether or not the image will be cropped (using the term to refer to the so-called "crop factor" associated with smaller-than-24x36 sensors): again, the answer's no. OM lenses are full-frame lenses, the a7 is a full-frame body - so no cropping of the image. Hope that's helpful!

Hi Stephen, Image Stabilization/Steady Shot will not work when connecting a Sony SAL70300G lens on the Sony A7 Camera with Sony LA-EA4 Lens Adapter. - Vincent

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.

You have to use the "manual" setting on the camera when using the adapter. All other camera settings are non-operational. I don't know what kind of lens you are using with the adapter, but with a fixed f-stop lens, you have to change your iso setting in the camera to compensate for light conditions. Hope this helps!

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...

Thank you for contacting us. You may use an old lens with the item you are inquiring about as long as you use the correct adapter to connect the two.

Aperture control is via the A7S. This adapter does not have a mechanical aperture.

There is an A(lpha) mount and an E mount. you can adapt A mount lenses to work on E but not the other way. it looks like the A3000 uses the E mount lenses, so you need the Alpha mount adapter. I would check to make sure you get the right one but sony lists the adapter for 199.99. So technically you can use it but it will cost an extra $200 to. make it work.

The 2nd answer is correct. Believe that the a77 Mark II is an e-mount Sony. If it is an e-mount, you would need to purchase an adapter to successfully use this lens. Also agree that it's a wonderful lens. One additional thought...make sure you have the correct adapter; there are two different "flavors'".
