Unlock the full potential of your legacy glass collection. The Sony LA-EA4 is a sophisticated lens adapter designed to bridge the gap between Sony/Minolta A-mount lenses and modern E-mount mirrorless camera bodies. Unlike standard adapters, the LA-EA4 features Sony’s proprietary Translucent Mirror Technology and a built-in dedicated autofocus motor. This unique design houses a 15-point TTL phase-detection AF sensor (with 3 cross-type sensors) directly inside the adapter, allowing it to deliver rapid, accurate autofocus performance that rivals native A-mount DSLRs.
This adapter is particularly valuable for photographers owning classic Minolta AF lenses or early Sony Alpha lenses that lack internal focus motors (screw-drive lenses). Because the LA-EA4 handles the focusing drive and detection internally, it ensures these older lenses perform with snappy speed and precision on your E-mount body. It supports full-frame sensors (like the a7 series) as well as APS-C crops, and maintains full auto-exposure capabilities. A tripod mount is integrated into the bottom of the adapter to support heavier telephoto lenses, protecting your camera’s lens mount from excess strain.
