if You Don't Want Problems...stick with Sony A-mount Lenses
2 of 4 found this helpful I bought this for my A7R, Because I don't want to buy into the over priced FE lenses.
Trying to get a deal on this right now is impossible. SONY has put a strict no deals on the new price increases on everything, till they decide to put the MSRP down.
I bought this used one with no original packaging, and only one lens cap.
It came from a pawn shop, so Square Trade won't put an extended warranty on it.
I had a LA-EA3 for my NEX 6 and it was always good.
As far as using other new adapters where you can use your existing Canon, or Nikon, lenses. It is priced competitively actually. It will give best response with Minolta/Sony A mount AF lenses. Where as it is only certain Nikon, Canon lenses that work well with the other adapters, and only work well with gen 2 of A7 series cameras!
So far it works well, but I bought a Kenko 2 x converter, and it works well with most
Minolta/Sony A-mount lenses, but not so well with 3rd party Minolta/Sony A-mount lenses. But in manual focus mode it works fine.
Do your research on DXO lenses and camera ratings. There's a few choice Minolta small prime lenses you can pick up in the $50-$300 and under, that work very well with this adapter too.
