Yea.. it all boils down to price and performance i guess.. the only part i hate was.. i just got mine La-ea1 one month ago.
damn...

A-mount Adapter for NEX which gives it Phase Detection AF
- Thread starter torak
- Start date
I guess you can still use it.
Rumor is LA-EA2 will only work on NEX-5N and NEX-7.
So it won't work with your current NEX (I assume you don't have 5N/7).
distortion: Depends on the lens, not the adapter. Any correction thereof would depend on camera software.
Vignetting: Depends on the lens, not the adapter. Any correction thereof would depend on camera software.
CA image correction: Not the adapter. Any correction thereof would depend on camera software.
So why discuss this in a section specifically talking about the adapter? This would be a totally different topic.
Not really... The discussion was about the adapter and possible IQ impact (light loss due to SLT) and then you just anyhow posted about a whole bunch of "want to have" features that actually have nothing to do with the adapter - these are general features that could be on any alpha/nex.
This thread is about the adapter. You are posting a wishlist of general software features. No link to the adapter.

Yup. I commented on it. Looks good on paper and I do wish to have better features to complement it so it won't cause me much headache which hardware to choose. Then again these are rumors and this thread is based on a rumored product. Not worth working up a sweat on more replies. Cheers!
Sorry if I m asking a stupid question. From wat I understand, a non-SAM lens still won't work on nex even with de new adaptor rite? Cos NEX body can't "drive" de non-SAM lens' focus ring. If I m rite then de adaptor will be quite useless cos not many SAM lens around. But if I m wrong and de new adaptor will allow ALL SAL lens to be useable on NEX then I say bring it on!!

oh really.. hmm so should i be happy or sad. anyway.
But i dont think they would make 1 just for NEX5n and 7..The nex 3..C3 and 5 is already quite a big audience. Why would they want to miss it. It would be quite silly if they do so though.
Anyway thanks for the information ^^

I believe the new adapter dont have a motor in it.. just a mirror right? The only different from LA-EA1 is it enable faster AF. Thats all. However its rumor-ed. So the end product might be different anyway. With the LA-EA1 or 2.. u can use all Sony lens.. the only different is you only can do AF on selected lenses. thats all.

How will they (not to mention why would they) "prevent" de adaptor from being use in other (older) NEX models? It's all using e mount and not to mention its sales to them. At most, maybe de 5N & 7 will have de body motor to drive non SAM lenses which older NEXes do not.

erm.. thats why there is this E mount 18 200 and the up coming 55 200.. if you think 18 55 isnt good enough for you.
i believe with the A mount u mention and the new adapter together.. the cost would be the same or little different only.
And by adding a glass..the adapter should already look bigger than the 1st version.. and now add another motor in it? hmm.. not practically.. If want AF. just get those SAM OR SSM.. thats about it.

hmm... the screwdrive motor i doubt comes from the body. if there is, most likely will be on the adaptor. why? because you fit the Body > Adaptor > Lens and not A-mount lens to Body straight aways

Yes dats possible too. But I was replying to de earlier post/rumour dat de new adaptor would "only work for NEX 5N/7" and wat dat could mean. I felt dat it could NOT mean dat it can't be mounted on old NEXes (since they re all using e mount) hence de other possibility is dat de new adaptor would only function fully with de new NEXes cos de new NEXes have de body screw drive. If de screw drive was on de adaptor then it should work on de old NEXes as well.

When I was on canon, my 18-135 was sufficient for me for normal use. I seldom needed de full zoom, prob used up to around 110mm at most. Hence I am reluctant to buy de 18-200 as I am paying for more than wat I need. As for de upcoming 55-210, its going to be cheap but I prefer not to have to switch lens regularly. Dat being said, I likely to get de 55-210. I m just saying why can't they make a medium telephoto like 16-105 or even 16-80 (both available with a mount). Another thing is even with SAM lens, another problem for NEX users using a mount is de lack of OSS for a mount lens cos de a mount bodies already have "steadyshot inside" which NEX does not. So even if there is a 16-105 SAM, without OSS, it would have some limitation in low light use.

Different people looking and asking for different things. look.. if the LA-EA2 can now AF on all Sony lenses. Then.. people will start saying.. ooh.. but no IS.. so how. Are they going to make a LA-EA3 with mirror, motor and OSS? Its never going to end. Technology is improving and it takes time. The point here is Compromise and decide on which suit you best. You cant ask for everything (unless you're Tony Stark?). And btw..NEX are design to be small and light.
