I purchased the Sony DT 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Aspherical Lense but it I fear it is A mount and this camera is an E mount. will I have to buy an adaptor?

Yes you will. But they are not expensive I think I paid $12 for mine. Easy to find on net.

Hi, this is a lens adapter, you must have a 50 mm lens , attach the adapter to the lens and then attach it to the camera.

suggest you visit the Sigma Website to determine whether Sigma sells the lens with a Sony Mount adapter. Initial research into such matters usually resolves many easily answerable questions.

Hi, this Sony Alpha Digital Camera A5000 is an E-mouth body type camera. This lens, SAL18200 is an A-mount type of lens. It means that they will not fit in, however, you may use the Sony A mount to E mount lens adaptor: LA-EA4 or LA-EA3 to make them work together. -Hope this helps. -Ely

I am afraid there is no way. On A mount by using adapters you can mount e mount lenses

Hi Enrique, I wish I had a clear cur answer. I use some new lenses and some 'E" series lenses made by Nikon. The adapters are different on each. The E series lenses were made in the early 1980's and are a GREAT value however their mounts are different than the 18-55. Sorry I cannot be of more help. Maybe go the B&H photo and see if they have a close-up of your lens and compare that with the 18-55? Best, Haji Mahmood

It's an A-mount lens, so you'll need an A to E adapter. The lens is manual aperture and manual focus.

Dear Rachelle, I have the same camera (NEX5) and it's needs, but I do not see the E-mount here. It means we (NEX-owners) are needing something like LAEA1 Mount Adaptor ;)

it has to be an e-mount lens, this is a crop sensor camera so the older lens works fine with this camera. If you have first generation lens, the bayonet mount type of lens, these will not work. But I would recommend buying a new lens if you plan to use this camera for video work, because the auto-focus system is much quicker with a new lens and the auto image stabilizer is also good, if you are just shooting photos, go with a full frame sensor camera like the 6D but this will require a new lens, since it's a full frame sensor

There is a Fotodiox or chinese adapter for this lens to a Sony E mount but there are tradeoffs. First, there is no electronic control which means no AF, no Aperture adjustment, and no lems recognition. The second and more pressing issue is heavy vignetting/ blackout due to the image circle on this lens being designed for a Micro Four Thirds sensor vs a APS-C sensor. If you can live with that, it's a great lens.

Most lenses are not interchangeable between manufacturers so you would likely need to purchase one made for your model or possible you can purchase an adapter to make it fit. I wish I could had offered you better advice.

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.

You would only be able to use E-mount Sony lenses (unless you buy an adapter separately).

You need to determine which lens mount is on the lens already. Is it a T-mount thread (42 mm)? Also be aware that the T-mount will NOT support auto exposure or focus functions. You will be working with full manual functions. There may be an adapter for your lens and camera available, but in my experience off-brand equipment for Olympus mounts are limited. Best strategy is to use the B+H or Adorama websites to try to find the item you need, then shop it around fr a better price, if possible. Best of luck.

You need to have an adaptor to your particular camera. Mine is a t-mount. These are little rings that do not cost much. I have used this with a Nikon. It is strictly manual focus, but fun to play with until you can afford something better.

You will have to get an adapter to fit the A mount lenses onto the E mount Nex camera. Sony discontinued the lower cost adapter but maybe you could find it here on Amazon (Alpha mount adaptor LA-EA1 )

Hi Elisa, no adapter required, it comes with everything .It works great on my t4i, and there is no physical difference between the two cameras. But the camera does not matter so much, it's the lens. I'm using it with a 18-55 lens, and it works awesome. Cheers.
