Anyone else enjoying LA-EA5, a6600, and Minolta lenses?

[scbenoit]

I've just received my LA-EA5 and will be trying out some Minolta AF lenses on an a6600. Anyone else trying this combination and have any feedback to share?

My Minolta lenses are 

1) AF MACRO 100mm f2.8

2) MAXXUM AF ZOOM 28 - 85mm (macro)

3) AF ZOOM 28-80mm f3.5

4) AF REFLEX 500 f8

5) Vivitar Series 1 28-300 f4.0 MC AUTO FOCUS ZOOM

The only Minolta (or other A mount) lens I still have is my AF Reflex 500 which I sometimes use on my A6500 when I want to go lightweight with a "long" lens.

Hi

I still use the Minolta 50mm/2.8 Macro - the last of my A-mount lenses almost all of which were from the Minolta era.   In general I found the a6600 + EA5 AF performance good for most purposes, but not for the kind of Birds in Flight (swallows at close range) to which the pandemic confinement condemned me.

Those I had good luck with included the famous 70-200/4 "Beercan" and the 200/2.8 HS APO, as well as the more recent Sony 50/1.8 that came with my A55.

I use the LA-EA5 on my A7IV.  I've got the 80-200/2.8HS, 100-400APO. 100/2.8D macro, 28-135, and the 85/1.4G  Fun to shoot!

I use my LA-EA2 on my A6000. Works great. Even BIF. I have an old Sony 150-500mm lens.

I like the sound of that - I've a 24-105 and 100-300apo that would like to play on my a6k! For now I just have a dumb adapter with aperture control.
