E-mount is significantly superior to A-mount for MILC cameras. The extremely short flange length means that it's compatible with pretty much any lens with a suitable adapter.
Your dad's old lens F-mount lens will work perfectly on an E-mount camera, with full AF and aperture control. So will any A-mount or EF-mount lens.
- slantyyz 10y ago>> work perfectly Isn't the AF is slower and less accurate with those adapters than on their native platform?
- jdietrich 10y agoIf you're using a Metabones or LA-EA4 adapter on a camera with phase detect AF, there's no practical difference. AF will be slower on a camera that only has contrast-detect AF.
- slantyyz 10y agoThe LA-EA4 doesn't count since it doesn't cover your statement "Your dad's old lens F-mount lens will work perfectly". Every Metabones review I've seen had slightly slower AF. "Perfectly" still does not apply. Also, not all lenses work with Metabones, i.e., the lenses that don't work with teleconverters because their backs stick out too much. While I appreciate the benefits you're selling, those adapters aren't perfect.
