Does this work well with autofocus for a nex6 or is it completely manual?

This is a full manual lens, no auto anything, you also have no stabilisation so a tripod is essential

Completely Manual and don't even think about using without a really sturdy tripod.

No, autofocus doesn't work. You have to set the camera to manual mode and manually focus. However, it's not that difficult once you activate the zooming mode to help you focus.

works with nex 3, everything is manual. Nex 3 is not the easiest camera to operate in manual mode.

I bought this camera so that I could use my old Takamur lenses. So in my application, I use only manual focus. and manual aperature settings. I cannot speak to its automatic capabilities. For my applications, however it is excellent. I did need to purchase an inner adapter ring so that I could use my old lenses.

My Minolta lens, past down from my father, are all manual focus. I don't know Minolta well enough to know if they have auto focus or not. But I shoot in Manual mode and my aperture is manual on the lens. I think it's a good cheap way to do still life photography. Might be just a bit difficult for portraits. But I am pleased that I purchased adaptor.

No autofocus functionality - it is a purely mechanical adaptation of Canon EF lenses on Samsung NX bodies. The "peak function" on my NX100 supports focussing greatly, though. Since there is no full-functionality adapter available (and this will probably not change, ever), and since the price is right, I still strongly recommend the item from Fotodiox. It is well crafted and fits perfectly, both on the camera and the lens ends.

Wish I could help you but the Nex-6 is my first Nex camera and I don't know much about the others. Sorry

I would thank so. I use it on my 100-400mm and works great. Im not sure however of the autofocus?

I have used this for a couple months, and its all auto-focus-- zoom, movies, stills. I have not used a manual focus at all.

This is for manual only. I am using an old Minolta manual lens from the 70s and it works great. You will have to manually set everything, but the quality of pictures is outstanding (because the lens is better glass than the one that comes with my camera kit)

You have to use manual focus with all adapters. Well not all per say but the ones that have electronics for the autofocus cost alot. we are talking 300$

I only use manual lenses with my E-620 and it works great. I use Nikon, Oly and Ziess lenses with adapters. You need to set the camera setting to MF, set the dial to M for manual controls. The E620 happily provides metering support for manual lenses regardless of Make. You would need to adjust the aperture manually on the lens and the Shutter Speed from the camera dial. Of course, you have to focus using the manual ring on the lens as well. That's it.

You can use A-mount lenses like this one on your NEX camera with an adapter. The Sony LAEA1 adapter will work but it is my understanding that auto-focus does not work with the LAEA1 adapter. Though when I read some of the reviews some say it does auto-focus but it is painfully slow. So you'd probably have to manual focus with this lens and the LAEA1 adapter on the NEX cameras.There is also the LAEA2 adapter which allows the lens to auto-focus on the NEX camera by having the translucent mirror in the adapter.You'd probably just be better off just getting the SEL 35mm 1.8 lens or SEL 30mm 3.5 lens.

Should work. The aperture will be wide open. You will need to focus manually. If you use it with a Sony nex camera, you can use a feature that highlights parts of the picture that are in focus. That is very convenient when focusing manuall.

I do not use auto focusing. Detects motion and fires. No problem so far. Good results. OK for price.

I've used it with my Olympus E-500 and my Nikon D40. Not auto but manual...Works great. Amazing amount of light for the money.BTW takes a few seconds to recover......not instant.
