Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I be able to use SSM and SAM lenses on it?

A: Not initially. But it won’t take long to add and I have asked them to make this a higher priority; that way users won’t have to also own an LA-EA3 adapter to support those lenses.

Q: Will it AF closed like native E-mount lenses?

A: No; it will meter and focus wide open just like all A-mount lenses.

Q: What if I attach a lens not on the ‘currently supported’ list?

A: It will be Manual Focus only.

Q: How are firmware updates done?

A: The same way you do for a lens or a normal adapter. Attach the adapter to a camera body, connect the camera to a computer via USB, and run some software.

Q: Will Xi lenses be supported?

A: Those lenses were not known for their optical excellence. And not many people have expressed interest. So currently it’s not on the ‘to be supported one day’ list.

Q: Will it work with the A7S II?

A: No – the camera it’s connected to has to have phase-detect AF points baked into the sensor. Neither the A7S II nor the original A7s have this – they are contrast-detect AF only.

Q: Will it work in conjunction with a matched 1.4x teleconverter?

A: That’s much harder to do in software; so while it won’t be initially supported that’s something that can be added down the line.

Q: I have a very popular 3rd party lens. Will it work on this adapter?

A: No.

Q: Will the board swap also work with the LA-EA2?

A: No. The board shape and connector pinout are similar but different. If you try to install this board on an LA-EA2, it might burn the adapter.
