For us Canon Refugees wanting to deflect to Sony this is BY FAR the best explanation on Sony's native lens adapters in the whole net. T H A N K Y O U!!!!!!!!!
Fnally I can get a good explanation about differences in these adapters! Sony should publish this on their LA adapters pages. Thank you so much Gary 🙏🏻
This is a godsend. 2022, my Nex-6 died. Trying to figure out where to go with either a Nex-7 used, A7II, or a 6000 series, all while dealing with many legacy lenses. You made everything clear, and now I can buy used stuff knowing what to buy and how to mix them. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I JUST BOUGHT THAT LENS. OMG! THANK YOU! Context, I just got into full-frame cameras and bought an A7R III and Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 because of all the great things that have been said about it. I bought the latest LE-EA5 Sony A mount to E mount adapter and was so sad that I couldn't autofocus. THEN I FOUND THIS VIDEO THE NEXT DAY. Thank you again for doing this Gary!
Glad you found it helpful! Of course this was made before the LA-EA5 was released, so I couldn't have said, "The LA-EA5 doesn't work any any camera released before 2021". The LA-EA4 is for you.
@@FriedmanArchives That's right, and it's just like you said. Zeiss never made a replacement for this lens. Just a fixed 135mm at f/2.8. Sony GM 135mm at f/1.8 is just out of budget. Again, thank you for this video. It's still helping people like me!
PS, after watching your video I bought the LAE-4 in confidence, thank you for removing the confusion between models. No one else explains as well as you have.
Thanks for this vidéo Gary. As usual very clear and informative. Just a note as an A-mount shooter myself on A58, A77ii , A99ii and having tried the LAEA3 on A7R2 during 1 full week with my own lenses, I can tell that the transition a to e has for the moment too many cons for A-mounters involved on the A system. Sony must upgrade the adaptors to give at least the AF system of A77ii, at best the one found in A99ii. 3fps in AFC is a major no-go compared to 12fps AFC for example.
So I have a Sony a7iv camera and I just recently bought a SIRUI Night Walker kit lens and the lens is a L-mount and my cámara is a E-mount. Is there any adapter piece that makes them both compatible with each other ?
Thank you. You explained it really well. The new LA-EA5 does support screw drive AF but only works for select bodies. Hope Sony release firmware updates to more bodies.
Succinct and understandably put, Mr. Friedman solved a lingering mystery. Thanks. Now I'm going out and see if I can find an appropriate adapter for my A6000.
Gary, thank you! I have the Zeiss 135 f1/8 and recently bought the a7 iii. You answered my question. The only video I could find that explained it well.
finally an explanation that makes sense, was looking all over youtube, but got all kind of information that was going to make me chose the wrong option.
Glad I found this. With a bunch of Tamron A mount lenses that I can now identify as screw drive, I know I'd need the EA4. However the lenses aren't worth that much and as the EA4 is twice the price of the EA3, this video has helped me decide against keeping all the old lenses. Every other article just wasn't clear. Thanks!
I think you make a mistake at 1:06 when pointing out the LA-EA3 and LA-EA4 adapters. You got them mixed up. Other than that this is a fantastic and clear explanation of these adapters as well as a background on the different lens types. Easily the best video about this on You Tube. Thanks!
Totally agree, they should have been positioned in the right order, 1 to 4 from the viewers perspective, it gets a little confusing. Otherwise, great review😀
Great video - although there's the version LA-EA5 now of course. I am not sure Minolta put the motor in the lens for cost reasons, at the time this was a sensible engineering move, and most other manufacturers used a similar design - only Canon put a motor in the lens, which did give them an initial advantage. I have a Minolta 5000, 7000 and 9000 and a number of lenses and am looking to adapt them to an A1 and A7RV with the LA-05 - really appreciate the video. Thanks from the UK.
I loved seeing that Maxxum 9 around 10:15! I sold mine years ago to fund by Maxxum 7D, which I replaced with an A77ii that's still going strong (yes ... I haven't ditched the A mount yet). I still have my Maxxum 7, but I wish I hadn't sold the 9. One of the best cameras Minolta (or anyone, for that matter) ever made.
What about the LAEA5 adapter? What happens if I have Minolta A mount screw lenses, A Tamrom USD lens and Sigma HSM lenses. Not to mention a Carl Zeiss SSM lens coming this week.
Hi, Jurek! All of those lenses should work on an LA-EA5 adapter providing 1) you're using a recent Sony body that supports it (A1, A7 IV, A6600, possibly some others) and 2) you're not trying to shoot video. Sony gave up on that one. I do show a little bit about what to expect with the LA-EA5 in this video: ruclips.net/video/Xy4GZURBkF0/видео.html
Great review and very informative. I watched a while ago one about your favorite minolta cameras and I really enjoy your passion and love for photography and how immersed you get with the subject every time. Thank you for this review of the Sony adapters.
The autofocus accuracy and speed of the LA-EA4 can't be compared with that of the best Sony SLT cameras. However it is good enough. Nowadays a digital full frame camera is affordable. The Sony a7 camera body can be found new at around 750€. On the other hand nearly all native autofocus full frame e-mount lenses are expensive. The LA-EA4 adapter isn't expensive. It can be found new between 200-250€. I use many legacy Minolta a-mount lenses I bought from eBay which are really good. I think that it is a clever choice. I really love my Minolta AF 500mm f/8, the only mirror lens with autofocus ever. There is an exact copy of this lens by Sony too. Nearly all of the first Sony a-mount lenses were exact copies of Minolta lens. These sony lenses are more expensive but are the same as Minolta ones.
It's the autofocus system of the A65 that was used here. So it is the same as the 65. Of course SLT development continued and even when A65 came out it was stripped down from the A77 system that came out the same day. Thats the problem.
@@garyfriedman2005 Thanks for the quick reply. That's what I thought but I ordered a used one and downloaded the manual and the first thing it says is "make sure you have the latest firmware" with no explanation on how to do that or how to download. Thanks again! I can't wait to use my Minolta lenses again!
Gary Friedman also, based on your video, I know the la-ea4 will work with the Minolta and Sony lenses with the screw drive but will it also work with the newer SAL lenses?
Very good explained, but at the moment a bit out of date. How about the LA-EA5? Im curious how that one goes wit a full sensor body (A7 III) and my mechanical drived lenses. Especially pictures
I started really getting into photography right as I started really getting into smoking weed, and this video was so well explained that it's the first one I fully and efficiently understood 👏👏👏😆
Great explanation Friedman. I only complaint that it´s a shame Sony La-Ea adapters do not have stabilizer, because if we used it them on the sony e-mount cameras, it´s for used Konica-Minolta and Sony a-mount lenses on that e-mount bodies, and since nex cameras do not have stabilizer on theirs body, it was a must that sony La-ea adapters have it, for use lenses without stabilizer, since a-mount sony cameras has in-body. So, it´s a shame Sony do not put stabilizer on theirs La-Ea adapters. If we want to use a telezoom lenses, like Minolta 75-300 af D, you must higher the iso and shutter speed to compensated the lacks stabilizer.
Gary this was great! Thank you so much. I am not technically inclined so i found out everything i needed to know in the first four minutes. And some nice history of the AF. Cheers
This is the best yet easiest to understand explanation on la-ea adaptors i have ever seen. Thank you sir gary. And so, i am gonna get an LA-EA3 for my a mount lense 18-135 f3.5-6.5 and my new a7iii. What do you think? Or should i just grab a tamron 28-75 f2.8? Btw i read some reviews on sony website that these adaptors will result in lower light absorption, is it true?
It is true that the even number adapters will divert some light away from the sensor for focusing purposes. It's only a problem in theory. If it worries you, then native lenses are generally better.
Yes, 1/3rd of a stop, technically. Not a lot. I've been using the SLT technology for years, and never once did I say, "Damn, I wish I had 1/3rd of a stop more light!"
Great and quick explanation! I have a sony a7iii, should I buy the LA-EA4 for my Minolta 50 mm f1.4 of buy new Glass? I also have the 28-70 and the 70-200 kit lenses from Minolta.
The LA-EA5 adapter works great on my A7 IV, with both SSM and Screw-drive lenses. At the risk of sounding condescending, is your Focus Mode set to "MF"? :-)
Fantastic review and how reviews should be done! History should always be a part of the mix. I have the LA-EA2 and love it! Great addition to my NEX5n and 7. And the kids were a great touch at the end! I see you’ve trained them well and photographic comedy with the devil horns/rabbit ears behind your head during that take! 😜

Yes, that would be great. I wish Sony would develop this type of adapter.
Is it not possible to take the SLT mirror out of the LA-EA4 ? Maybe some other mods needs to be done to get it working (I don't know)
