No more A-mount?

Is that surprising ?

Essentially it is/was a silent phase out just like over at FT/MFT.

I'd also add that Sony arguably has the best transition path open for users switching between alpha and FE/E bodies. Slap on the phase adapter and you have near enough a SLT. Having said that, I haven't looked at it since the A7 series first arrived. Does that work for FE or is it E only?

Honestly that adapter is crap. I ruins the handling.

In a physical or other way? I haven't tried it, but at least it exists at all. Thinking more, does it cope with screw drive lenses? I might be undoing my own comment here!

The LA-EA4 adapter works fine with screw AF on my A7R. 
#7
LA-EA4 Adpater is the king road to fullframe. What do I need FE lenses when there is so so sweet Minolta and Sigma A-mount glass out there? What do I need FE24-70 when I can get a Minolta 28-105 or a 24-85 for a tenth of the FE lens price? 

 

FE mount lenses are big marketing gag... optically a big disappointment .... some of them not worth considering ... they were introduced to again open your wallet!

Physically. They have an extra "box" for the mirror at the bottom. It is simply in the way when supporting the lens on the bottom with your left hand. I got never used to this.
