I got the LA-EA 2 with my Sony NEX-7, I wanted to use the steady shot feature, is there a way to turn on steady shot feature ?

This lens does not have built-in stabilization. I don't believe that NEX-7 does either.

Hi Lieu, this lens does not have the Optical SteadyShot feature. Thanks_Mitch

You want the la-ea2 for the Nex 6. The 4 is for full frame cameras. The focus for my sigma 12-24 is perfect and fast. These units have there own electronics for exposure and focus. The la-ea1 does not and is very slow. So if your sticking with the nex6 go for the 2. If your planning on getting the A7, then go with the 4. Hope that helps.

Hi Pen, The kit lens has an image stabilization feature called Optical SteadyShot. -Anthony

Hi, I have an A58 and the beer can lens works perfectly in auto mode. Hope this helps... I am not sure about the mount on the Nex though !!!

Hi Shaun! The lens has no electric functions so it can't talk to the camera like more advanced/expensive/modern lenses do. If you can continue shooting you're good to go, you'll just have to adjust your iris and focus manually, as opposed to those functions being camera controlled. Most cameras should just let you say "okay" and keep shooting though. Have fun! The lens has a really unique and beautiful flare, so make sure you check that out. Cheers, Colin.

Hey A.M.M Arguello, I noticed in your initial post you mentioned you have the NEX-3 camera. I also noticed in your last post that you ordered the 55-210 mm zoom lense. Have you had a chance to use the 55-210 mm zoom lense with your NEX-3 yet? Have you had any problems? I only ask because on the sony website this lense does not list the NEX-3 as a compatible camera. However I think this has to do with the fact that the NEX-3 was technically a discontinued model when this lense was released. Any first hand experience you can provide would be much appreciated.

Seems a bit slow compared to what I experience. I've found that using an SD card with a fast write speed (45mbps or higher) and turning off auto-image-review in the settings really helps to significantly speed up shot-to-shot time. I'd also recommend checking Sony's website for the latest firmware updates (can be found here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=NEX6&template;_id=1&region;_id=1&tab;=download#/downloadTab). Hope this helps!

I found it. The menu has a setting for a lens that has an aperture ring. So all I did was change the setting to "permitted" and it worked. So thanks to K. Johnson for the response and I will now put this forum to rest. What a great little camera, the Pentax Kx! And I just found out that it takes multiple exposure pictures; how much fun is that?

The adapter provides no electrical connection between the camera and the lens - the camera really thinks there's no lens attached! I have a Sony NEX-6, and I solved the problem (with help from another customer) by going to the camera's menu, selecting "Setup", then scrolling until I found "Release w/o Lens". Click on that option to enable it, and the camera will shoot. Of course, with the adapter there's no autofocus or aperture control - you have to do those on your own. But it works fine!

Yes, I guess its part of Sony's patented Steady Shot technology. I'm not sure it works perfectly all the time and part of that could be me. I've used the walking test several times and when it works, it's great, but when it's not working, it looks the same as any other camcorder. I'm not sure if I have it on the correct settings. But it is perfectly normal about the lens part moving. You cannot beat Sony video quality.

The LA-EA1 will work with Builtin Motor Lenses in AF other lenses Manual Focus only. The LA-EA2 wil AF on any AF Alpha Lens Its Phase Detection. Sony will have 2 more Adapters in Dec of this year EA3 & EA4 The EA4 is for thye A7r 36MPIX Camera. EA3 will work on your NEX 7. Go to www.dpreview.com to see more details & info. I would Buy one the Newer Versions. Ok

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I have found that when I want to take pictures of kids or moving sports objects - I select a mode like the sports mode and then push the shutter down half way to allow the camera time to focus on the subjects. Then I continue to follow the subject while holding the shutter half way down and when the shot I want appears I just complete pushing down the shutter and the picture will be taken instantly. If I don't push the shutter down half way first, I end up with the same 1 second delay between the picture I wanted to capture and what actually shows up on the viewfinder. Hope that helps. Mike

Since this lens has no electronics, it's normal for the camera to not recognize its presence. You need to go into the the setup menu of the camera and enable "Release w/o lens". This will allow you to use your NEX-7 with fully manual lenses like this one

Hi Visionist, when using it with the A7II, the built in SteadyShot of the camera body will be in effect. This is a telephoto zoom lens. Thanks_Mitch

Hi There does not appear to be any lag. Hit the shutter button and you have it. By the way, I am a professional photographer and I owned the original RX100. Did not like it as I felt the lens and/or sensor was simply not sharp enough for my needs. I sold it after 3 months. The Mark 3 is fabulous and Sony has fixed the problems PLUS added an EVF. This camera lens/sensor combo is really sharp and I am delighted with it. It is my "carry around" always camera. Good luck and well wishes! - Phil Johannes

The remote works fine with my Nex-7. Make sure you have set the camera to respond to the remote (menu button -> Camera -> Drive Mode -> Remote Cdr.). The remote must be aimed at the front of the camera (at least on the Nex-7). If it still doesn't work then try reversing the battery. There is no blinking light on the remote.
