I have a Sony a6000, and have an adaptor which connects FD lenses to it (I found it on Amazon). It has no glass, and is just basically a piece of metal tubing with an FD flange at one end, a Sony e at the other. Both focussing and aperture have to be set manually, the camera will set the correct exposure.

Having changed from a Canon 70D to a Sony A6000 (slightly off this topic for A7), I have been using my Canon lenses with either a Sigma M-11, or a Comlite adaptor. I find the Sony manual focusing aid exceptionally quick. Particularly with my Canon 100mm macro f2.8 IS.USM.L lens. For macro work I rarely use AF anyway.

<p>DxO Optics Pro10 say that the G5X support will be available this month.</p>

<p>I thought I had made a response to this but it doesn't seem to have appeared.I was wondering whether your lenses had been upgraded to version2.0, and whether this would solve the problem. There is a list on the Sony website of those lenses which can be upgraded.</p>

<p>I am new to the Sony camera world, with an A6000, having been a 'Canon person' since the 1970s, my latest being a 70D. I bought my A6000 with the two kit lenses the 16-50mm and the 55-210mm. However, I find having to continually to change between the two lenses a real bother. I decided I needed just one all purpose lens. On my Canon 70D my regular lenses were either the EFS 15-85 mm or the EFS 18-135mm lenses. Having read about all the Sony E lenses, nothing really seemed to suit, so I eventually decided on the SEL 18-200mm lens. This will cover about everything I might want to shoot. One might say 'what an enormous lens', and yet it weighs less than the Canon 15-85 mm lens, and not much more than the Canon 18-135mm lens, where optically it is superior. I find holding the camera with my right hand and supporting a zooming the lens with my left hand, a very easy set up.<br> I had thought I might use my Canon lenses with an EF/EFS to E adaptor. However the Comlite adaptor weighs 140gm, which adds considerably to the total weight, and there is the very slow automatic focussing. I will, however, use it with my Canon 100mm L. f2.8. IS macro lens, and my 300mm L.f4. IS lens, using manual focus.<br> Time will tell whether I have made the right choice!</p>
