Thanks, I appreciate the information since I was hoping with a software upgrade it will work because my a6600 did not work with the LA-EA5 out of the store, but when I upgraded the software to the next one available, it started working like a charm with my Minolta 100mm f2.
The funny thing about my a7R111A is that I have the Metabones Fifth Gen. EF and my 100-400mm II works fine but my 11-24mm EF does not.
Thanks again for the information.

None of the A7III series cameras support screw-drive AF with the LA-EA5. The A version of the A7RIII did not get it. Neither did the A7C.

The A7RIV (with or without -A) is the oldest A7 model to support screw-drive AF with the LA-EA5.

Since my last post in this thread, I bought a semi-fancy dumb A-mount to E-mount adapter with a clicked manual aperture control since the LA-EAs don't provide for stopped down focusing.

I purchased a Nikon F3 at a thrift store two years ago, which led to buying a Nikon D3300 used at a pawn shop.

Last week I purchased a used K & F Concept F to E adaptor for my Nikon F mount lenses.

During last weekend's Procam store dealer event, I ordered a Sony LA E5 adaptor so I can use all the Minolta A mount prime lenses I acquired last year.

The Sony rep claimed he expedited the adaptor.

Hopefully he did so, as I am looking forward to trying them with my Sony prior to film.

I now have the LA-EA3 and 4 as well as the 1 and 2. I tend to leave them on the lenses I use most.
LA-EA1 - Sony 55-200mm or 55-300mm on A6300
LA-EA2 - Minolta 50mm f2.8 macro (or f1.7 prime*) on A6300
LA-EA3 - Tamron 28-300mm for A7R11 (it's the only SSM A-mount lens I have)
LA-EA4 - actually, I use this on a lot of lenses with the A7R11, eg:
- Minolta 135mm f2.8,
- Minolta 100-300mm APO
- Minolta 500mm Reflex, or
- Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro

*Usually at Christmas because it has by far the best bokeh circles.

I just have the LA-EA3 now, which is sort of permanently mounted to the 135/2.8 T4.5 STF lens.
It's the only A-mount lens I have left (and I still really like it), but of course, only works in manual mode. So the LA-EA3 is ideal for it.

I've two dumb adapters, Nikon-F and µ43. These bring my 5τ telephoto on the cheap from Nikon, plus my TTartisan 35/1.4 can play in both my systems. Still watching for word on that TTart 17mm... .. .

Thank you! Did you test it yourself? It was my expectation, but I could find no information on it.

Thanks Anthony & Matthew>
I did decide to get the AE5, especially being at 1/2 price, just fro future proofing any future E mount buys ( not for a while though)and in case Sony do decide on any updates. I'll decide whether to sell the AE3 at a tempting price, or keep it as a back up.
I'll try and do some comparisons with the Tamron when the 5 arrives.

I'll do a separate post, but does anyone know whether there is an advantage of the EA4 over the 5 when using withop my A7M3 for SSM & SAM lenses
BUT most of all with my Tamron 150-600 G2?

Don't think the LA-EA5 currently offers anything the LA-EA3 doesn't on the A7M3. Might be an appropriate firmware update, I guess.

Edit: I meant a future update, but I don't know whether that is possible.
