Thanks! A combination that cannot be AF with either 99II or LA-EA5. However, LA-EA4r can be AF with this combination. Over 1x. 200F4G MACRO + 1.4xTC + LA-EA4r V03  Edited by gigo - 01 November 2020 at 15:45 |

This is getting more tempting to get than an LA-EA5 .
It also means I could get the a7iii that I had planned on just as the LA-EA5 was announced ( and not compatible with most cameras ) .  With the new additions and functions it just gets better . |

Certainly is becoming more interesting.
Might be time for someone to check whether lenses not on the supported list, but which record the same exif tags as those that are, will work as well. Sony Lens Type Values (exif tags) are here (scroll down. eg Minolta 24-105 (exif tag 24) is now supported. Other lenses with tag 24 include: 24.1 = Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 24.2 = Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro 24.3 = Sigma 20-40mm F2.8 EX DG Aspherical IF 24.4 = Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC 24.5 = Sigma DC 18-125mm F4-5,6 D 24.6 = Tamron SP AF 28-75mm F2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] Macro 24.7 = Sigma 15-30mm F3.5-4.5 EX DG Aspherical Minolta 75-300, exif taq 2561, others with same tag: 2561.1 = Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DL Macro 2561.2 = Sigma 300mm F4 APO Macro 2561.3 = Sigma AF 500mm F4.5 APO 2561.4 = Sigma AF 170-500mm F5-6.3 APO Aspherical 2561.5 = Tokina AT-X AF 300mm F4 2561.6 = Tokina AT-X AF 400mm F5.6 SD 2561.7 = Tokina AF 730 II 75-300mm F4.5-5.6 2561.8 = Sigma 800mm F5.6 APO 2561.9 = Sigma AF 400mm F5.6 APO Macro 2561.10 = Sigma 1000mm F8 APO I don't yet have an e-mount camera (or adapter) to check, but maybe somebody has. |

I see Dyxum is influencing the LA-EA4r development - the latest aim is to ensure all Minolta zooms with a Dyxum rating of 4 or more will work with the adapter (though I assume this will not include xi lenses).

Is Lens Compensation and distance encoding working with the LA-EA4r?

(When TC is attached to 200 macro, it is rarely focused in the macro range and it is not practical.) If you replace the lens without turning off the power, the parameters will not be updated. If you change the lens without turning off the power and the camera hangs, you can recover by connecting the USB power supply. |

My tests with the LA-EA4r (Ver. 04)
Lenses with working AF that didn't work in Ver. 03: 28-85/3.5-4.5 -- "E 28-85mm F3.5-4.5" 35-70/4 -- "E 35-70mm F4.1" ! 100-200/4.5 -- "E 100-100mm F4.5" ! 100-300 APO D -- "E 100-300mm F4.5-5.6" Lenses with filled in Lens Names already working in V03: 24-85/3.5-4.5 -- "E 24-85mm F3.5-2.6" ! 75-300 D -- "E 75-300mm F4.5-5.6" 100-400 -- "E 100-400mm F4.5-7.8" ! Lenses no longer working in V04 (AF working in V03): 28-80 D 28-105/3.5-4.5 RS Tamron 90/2.5 (52EM) Cosina 100/3.5 I notice the lens names with these are not getting reset. The 28-80 D and 28-105 will sort of work on the wide end if they are mounted right after the 24-85. The aperture often shows up as "F90" with these and cannot be changed. The 24-85 also had this happen. Lens Compensation is working with the SAL28F28. It is not working with the Minolta AF 100mm F2.8 D Macro or SAL50F14. Lens Type for the Minolta 50/1.7 RS is also set correctly Focus Distance not working with D lenses. Edited by QuietOC - 08 April 2021 at 21:34 |

WARNING!
A small number of people are posting on the Official MonsterAdapter LA-EA4r Group, for A-mount that their cameras have "bricked" when using the adapter. There is one report that the main board in the camera had to be replaced. The malfunctions appear to occur when the lens was removed without turning off the camera. It may be advisable to: REMEMBER to turn off the camera before changing lenses! |
