Sony LA-EA2 adapter new lower price
The new Sony LA-EA2 NEX adapter has quietly been lowered to $299 here. Not anymore! Sony’s US website is still listing is for $399. I jumped on one of these this weekend, basically for the purpose of using the Sony 70-400mm lens (review) with the NEX-7. Focusing was dead-on with this combo on my loaner, don’t know why I sent it back; well, I need it now, but I didn’t then. Also, the AF micro adjustments on select NEX cameras work only when using this adapter, it isn’t for NEX lenses.
Sony NEX LA-EA2 adapter review
Here at Photojottings, the most requested photo accessory to review (lately) is the LA-AE2 adapter, which seems to be very appealing to Sony alpha users that plan on jumping on the NEX cameras, especially the NEX-7. This adapter allows Minolta AF and Sony a-mount lenses to auto-focus when mounted on the newer NEX cameras. Currently, Sony’s US website is listing this product as compatible with the NEX-7, NEX-5N, with a NEX-C3 update in the future. NEW, Sony’s Asia website has firmware updates for the adapter use on the original NEX-3/5, and NEX-C3.
I’ve tested this adapter on the NEX-7 and 5 different Sony lenses so far, along with using the Sony A580 as the ‘standard’ for AF speed and accuracy. Right now, based on my limited use, the LA-EA2 adapter really works well, in fact, I find no difference in focusing speed and accuracy between the NEX-7 with adapter and Sony A580. Note; If you have any comments or requests, please let me know while I still have the adapter! …
