Un peu bizarre car Sony a quand même intérêt à ce que les gens basculent à 100% sur les nouveaux objectifs en monture E ou alors, ils veulent accélérer le passage des boitiers A à E en limitant les investissements des récalcitrants
A New Hope for older A-Mount lenses
If you're like me, you STILL have a ton of outstanding A-mount lenses which use the older screwdriver-type autofocus coupling. I'm talking about lenses such as the Minolta 80-200 f/2.8 G; Minolta 85mm f/1.4, and Zeiss 135mm f/1.8, macro lenses, and the f/4 trilogy (including the 'beercan'), just to name a few. When adapted to a modern E-mount body via Sony's LA-EA4 adapter many of the camera's advanced focusing features such as Eye AF, Animal Eye AF, and focus tracking are lost.
For many years people have publicly asked Sony to come out with an updated adapter to allow these older lenses to not be crippled when adapted (such as this one by Sony artisan Brian Smith), to no avail.
Then this arrived on my doorstep yesterday which promises a solution, which I'll tell you about next month after I have a chance to put it through its paces. Are you a person who's been waiting for something like this as I have? Then shoot me an email at Gary at Friedman Archives dot com and I'll tell you more.
