LA-EA5 35mm A-mount lens to E-mount camera adapter

I needed an adapter because I did not have the funds to purchase all new lenses when I upgraded to mirrorless from my ASP-C Sony A77II camera. This allows me to use the full-frame A-mount lenses I own. I have used my Sigma 70-200mm F.8 A-mount with the adapter. All functions that I use with this lens are supported including autofocus. This can be a problem with cheaper adapters. The adapter quality matches the rest of my Sony products which is excellent.

Works well

This works very well with my all my A lens including my Sony 2.8/300 SSM. I was pleasantly surprised it also worked with my Kenko Mx-AF 2x Teleplus MC4. (With most A lens.) Unfortunately it does not work on auto focus for the Sony SAL14TC nor does it work for the Sony SAL20TC.

I wish there was more compatibilty info available

I have existing Minolta AF lens', which I used with my A100 for over a decade with no problems other than the a100 stillshot glitch, and was hoping to use them with my new ZV-e10 and I knew I would need a bayonet adapter to accomodate a A mount lens onto an e-mount camera. I did the research, i really did. I found an interactive spreadsheet which I thought would tell me which adapter to buy to enable me to continue us ing the AF for the Minolta lenses I have. I found this lens, and bought it, but my camera still gives me a lens AF incompatibility error. I will continue to use my A100 for situations where I need fast AF to capture my subjects I guess, and just use my new ZV-e10 in controlled situations where I wont have to actively change my focus to track my subject. So my critique isnt really about the product as much as the information available to ensure I didnt spend hundreds of dollars for features I thought I was going to be able to use, but can't after all.

Works great with all my older lens.

Just upgraded my camera to a Sony Alpha 7iv and I wanted to use my other lenses. I bought this in hopes it worked with the auto focus. It worked great, so now i have twice as many lenses to use.

Works okay

This adapter did not work for what I need it for. It does attach well to camera and my A lens did attach well to the adapter, but it did not work with my sony A mount wide angle lens. Photo was darker and not as sharp as they normally are when lens is attached to my A77mrk camera. It does work, but not for what I need.

LA-EA5 Review

Usual great quality build. Does not behave the same with every lens, depends on the camera, this means you have to look at the support pages on Sony before you can guarantee that it will work with your lens and camera combination. i.e. SAL75300 autofocus works with LA-EA5 and A7M4 but not A7C.

Super and compact

Absolutely what I expected, just more compact than the earlier A to E mount adapter. This will allow me to keep using some hard to get A mount lenses.

Very limited support for cameras

I purchased this adapter intending to use my Minolta A mount AF lenses on Sony A7iii but the screw drive lenses are not supported on this camera-adapter combo. I had to fall back to using LA-EA4 which is bulky and causes me to lose 1/3 stop of light because of the translucent mirror. If Sony would update the support for more cameras, I would gladly rate this a 5 star product.

Works - on some, but not all, models

Works very well on 7R IVa - too bad Sony has not made it backward compatible with earlier A7R models. It is inconvenient to have to remind oneself which body can and cannot auto-focus with it when reaching for a camera to use.

If you have A Mount lenses, this is must

To my surprise, this adapter works with Minolta A Mount lenses as well as with any A Mount native camera. I use it with several Minolta lenses and with Alpha7 IV, and as far as I can tell, the camera retains full set of AF features. Even the sound when focusing is as good as it is with any other camera. Full marks.

Compatibility

It is proven that by adding this attachment to my old screw lens type, I am able to use it on my A7M4. The lens used the AF system and is fast. The LA-EA5 is lightweight, small and compact and does not add substantial weight.

Really pleased with this adaptor

I got this adaptor to replace my LA-EA4 to ensure that my 'A' mount lenses would work with my new Sony A7 IV. And I'm not disappointed. Yes my LA-EA4 may well have worked with the A7 IV but I was not prepared to miss a deal and get the lasted one with is guaranteed full functionality.

Best A mount adapter so far, but not perfect

It's great that Sony released an adapter that can provide mirrorless AF for screw drive lenses. It's disappointing, though, that this new adapter still includes so many restrictions that applied to previous LA-EA adapters, and even introduces new ones. Third party adapters from Sigma and Metabones can provide hybrid AF and fast CDAF, and support such behaviors as stopped-down AF and use of the AF illuminator, but Sony still can't do these things for its own lenses on its own bodies with its own adapter. Further, screw drive support for AF is limited to just a few newest and highest end bodies. All of this sounds like firmware, rather than hardware, limitations, since other third parties, like TechArt and Monster have adapters which provide screw drive support on older Sony bodies. I hardly ever shoot video, but the LA-EA5 providing less support for video than the LA-EA4 is also disappointing. In good light, though, for stills shooting, the LA-EA5 on the A7R4 is quite good. Fast and flexible AF with few limitations. Being able to use all the OSPDAF points with my Minolta 24-105D lens is great. In lower light, though, AF from the LA-EA5 struggles. Even in daylight indoors, trying something like the Sony 18-250 is much slower and less likely to get a lock than on the 10 year old A390. In short, if you have a newer Sony E mount body, and some A mount lenses you would like to continue using, the LA-EA5 is your best choice, but there are still things Sony could probably do with firmware that would make it a true upgrade from A mount bodies.

Does the job exactly as expected

I was anxious that an extra attachment between camera and lens would adversely affect image quality but now after six months use these doubts have proven pointless. This adapter works superbly well and has given my a-mount lenses an extra lease of life, and saved me a lot of money buying additional FE lenses.

Excellent Adapter with some Limitations

It rocks, given a proper system setup. The sample pictures were taken by A7r mark iv + Sony 70-400 SSM G (ver 1). The AF tracking ability is surprisingly good. It doesn't feel like an adapted lens at all. In some cases, it may perform better than my trusty a99 mark2. However, for non-SSM lens, the tiny motor inside the adapter struggles a little to drive heavier lens, like the Carl Zeiss 135mm f/1.8. All-n-all, this adapter is a must have for any serious A-mount user. While I am fortunate enough to have the proper body to fully utilize its potentials, Sony, please expand the supported body list. Other users complaints are absolutely legit. If you want your customers to be loyal to Sony system, Sony must provide a wider range of backward compatibility support. For that, I take down my rating a touch, to 4-star.

Misleading Advertising and Limited Compatibility

When this adapter came out it was advertised for wide use of a mount lens -- it was the untimate to solution for those of us wanting to use our old Minolta lens on current bodies. Piffle! Only two camera bodies? Ridiculous. I have been a Minolta/SONY user for years because I could rely on the products. This adapter was a joke. Luckily I was able to return the adapter but I have lost confidence in SONY

This adapter is only useful a couple of camera's

I had a lot of hope for the screw drive functionality of this adapter. Sadly, it is limited to only the A7Riv and the A1. Very disappointing. The AF with SSM works well, but I am very disappointed that this adapter doesnt at least work with the Gen 3 cameras, A7Siii A7Riii and the A7iii. PLEASE allow this adapter to work on more cameras!

Good adapter, but ...

... only if you have one of the latest Sony cameras. So it supports old Minolta/Sony screw drive lens, but only with 2 cameras??? For sure camera/adapter firmware upgrades are needed.

AMAZING!!!!

By DukeP

The LAEA5 works wonders on a Sony A7R iv. Now A mount lenses work 99% as good as the E mount native lenses. I put the Minolta 100mm macro f2.8 and it works just as good if not better than it did on the A99ii. The same goes for the 70 300 G. I didn't like the LAEA4 but the 5 is on a whole nother level. It's not bulky like the LA EA4.
