I'll be finding out for myself soon enough , I've just picked up an a7Riv at a good price with a shutter count of only 2028 , and an LA-EA5 .
I should have both in a few days .

That 26 (not so) legendary A-mount lenses was mentioned before, on page 14 and 15. Maybe add it to the start post?

I really appreciate the input.
I will look to the a7riv or a7iv at some point. Could you make a direct comparison of speed on these lenses you mention with your a99ii vs the a7riv? I'm just interested in your gut feeling (close?, not that close? For af speed?) Compare af accuracy? Etc. I won't be getting a1, but chime in if you use that with a mount glass too, please. I figure if you have 6k on emount body you probably have better glass than my old Minolta 100 f2 and 35 f2, Surely appreciate any opinions, would love to hear what those with a7iv think with our old a mount classics. Thanks to all who may give guidance/opinions |

All of the lenses that I say work with AF are those that I do not perceive a diff against the a99ii. The models that I state Hunt Excessively are not usable for any subject action whatsoever. I had a hard time with my stationary test target at 20-30 feet away, both at full focus range or with the focus limiter active. Not that they never worked, only they hunted more often than not, many times never focusing at all. |

To hear you say that is not much of a difference is great news
If I can get even close to the same performance with my a mount gear on a new e mount body ill be thrilled. I guess I don't really have much choice except to start over, Otherwise Thanks Tom and I would again love to hear others' opinions, especially with 80s Minolta glass |

I am surprised. I used the original SAL 70-400 with LA-EA5/a7rIV and found it very good AF wise and it felt as good as native combination. My latest a-mount body is a99 (first generation) and the SAL 70-400 with LA-EA5/a7rIV was better AF-wise. Later I bought the e-mount 200-600mm lens and I found its AF performs with a7rIV similar and in some cases even worse that the LA-EA5/a7rIV with SAL 70-400 combo. Generally, I found the LA-EA5/a7rIV as good as native a-mount body with most of the lenses I used it. I didn't do any direct comparison, just based on personal experience. |

Good to hear. Thanks for your insight as well.
I have not considered e mount strongly until recently. Hope to hear other opinions as well. Thanks again |

@jordo7,
If you're interested, I've posted about my using my SAL70200G2 on my a7iv camera via the LA-EA5 including a link to some Sports Pics images in the Sony aiv thread. Worked absolutely seamlessly and provided all the smarts that the a7iv had to offer like the human eye autofocus, and generally impressed me. As noted in that post, it is my intention over the coming while to get out with the a7iv and every one of my a-mount lenses, post some images in appropriate threads, and also links into the a7iv camera thread. It's certainly my expectation that I'll be able to enjoy all my a-mount glass whether SSM or screw drive focus on the a7iv with that adaptor. |

I appreciate your post and letting us all know. Hopefully we get to see some more upcoming. I may just start looking for an a7iv. |
