Will the Sony SLR version of this lens work with the Alpha mount? If so, is the lens too heavy for it? Thanks.

Sony dSLRs use the Alpha mount so the Alpha mount version of this lens will work on these cameras. As for whether it would be too heavy, that is a matter of personal opinion. The cameras are built have these and even heavier lenses mounted so that won't be a problem. It will be heavier and bigger than some of the other prime lenses out there, of course, since it's a larger aperture, macro lens.

Sorry, I shoot Canon gear. I Don't know a thing about Sony or Alpha mounts. It's a great lens though.

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.

Yes..I think that all Minolta lenses has A- mount..which is the mount for Alpha Sony cameras....Im using the beercan 70-210mm & the mini beercan 35-70mm with excellent results !!

this lens is an "A" mount lense, I believe the Nex camera uses "E" mount, this said there is an adapter to make it possible; http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Accessory-NEX-VG10-NEX-VG20-Camcorders/dp/B006LAIPA0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1379795499&sr;=8-3&keywords;=Alpha+NEX+Camera+Mount+Adapter+LA-EA2 there are also other ones check on this site

Hi, this Sony lens SEL70200G is an E-mount type of lens whereas the Sony Alpha A7 is an E-mount type camera body. You do not need an adapter for using the lens to the A7 camera. -Ely

It fits fine on my Sony alpha 200. It is a nice lens. I like it better than the zoom lens that came with my camera.

Yes. This lens works well with the Sony Alpha SLT cameras (I have an Alpha SLT-A65).

If the lens would work on a Minolta Maxxum camera then it should fit. The Sony alpha mount is compatible with the old Minolta Maxxum lenses. Good luck.

Yep. The confusingly named Sony alpha a6000 works with the e mount lenses that were made for the nex line.

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 not sure. This lens is for A-mount Sony alfa series camera. You should check which type of lens mount is required for alpha 3000? Now, mostly, A-mount or E-mount in Sony camera.

I've used this with a Sony Alpha and very heavy 500mm lens. (I've even used it with two cameras mounted at the same time.) I can't give an exact pound weight but it is a very stable mount and as long as you can balance the camera's center of balance properly, it will hold virtually any standard DSLR and lens.

The DSLR a580 uses an Alpha mount from Sony, so I don't see a reason why the Sony Alpha mount of this Rokinon lens would not work.

I bought this specifically for my A77 and it works without any issues. The Sony's Alpha SLT use the same mount as their NEX line of products

It should fit as long as it is an alpha mount. I have a Sony alpha 390 and alpha 58 that this lens works with.

Yes, it'll work with any Alpha lens. Please note that you will have to set the focus and aperture manually. I use the adapter with my NEX-7 and my old Minolta lenses (Beercan 70-210, prime 28 and 50). My old glass gives me terrific images at the (small) cost of having to take a little more time to take each picture.

Yes, you can use it with Sony Alpha 6000. Mine works fine at attaching a nikkor-p 3.5 55mm macro lens.
