Is this lens fully compatible with the A7 without vignetting?

No, it is a dt lens which means it is for crop sensors. The a7 is a full frame. On top of that the the a7 uses the e-mount and this is an a-mount meaning it would also require an adapter to work properly.

It's my understanding the Alpha lenses work on the A cameras... I have an a77.

You will get vignetting using a full frame camera. I have a D7100 and a D610. Fortunately, the 610 lets me shoot in DX mode if I need to.It's a decent lens, and worth the money if you don't mind shooting in crop mode.

For the 24-105, you shouldn't have problems with vignetting if you've got a single filter (no stacking thereof) and are shooting with with your aperture closed down a bit. Good Luck!

Sorry Pat, I am not familiar with this camera. I have the Sony A77. What I can say is that this is a superb lens and light enough to hand hold. I am extremely pleased with it. I had put some pics on Amazon .com from this lens. If they are still there, it should give you some insight. All the best.

As already answered, it's MF only and you /can/ use it with the A7 models. This is what images will look like before cropping (either via crop mode or manually in post process).http://i2.minus.com/i8R8GskifZ8bl.jpg

I believe so but keep in mind this lens is designed for APS-C 'cropped' sensors so you should set up your a7, which is a full frame camera, in cropped mode. It will produce lower megapixel images.

Yes it is, I'm using it with the Sony A7 (via an adapter) and it works fine.

yes, I tested and it was very sharp on 7R, AF worked really well also, this lens the only solution to WIDE ANGLE for Sony 7/7R

The A7 is the same as the Nex-6 in that it has an E mount. You will need a Mount Adaptor Model:LAEA4 to cross to an A mount. This is a great lens.

I don't have an a7r. My uderstanding is that you can use it two ways. In the crop mode or in FF mode (with some loss, vignetting). My understanding is that this lens gives a bigger image than the APS-C so it can be used on the A7r with just a little loss in ff mode. If you got to the Nex forum on Digital Photographic Review and ask the question you will get answers from people who use this lens on that camera. It is a stunningly good lens that I think will handle the extra resolution of that camera without problems. I am considering moving from APS-C Nex to that camera but I would keep this lens for use on the A7r. I don't have an a7r. My uderstanding is that you can use it two ways.

Gary, it's a full frame lens but to use on A7 you need an adaptor (la-ea4).

Works fine on my A7r. You must use full frame lenses or you'll get vignetting. DX lenses will connect but will create vignetting. To get the A7 or A7r to trigger, you must change a setting in the menus to allow it to trigger with no lens attached.

I don't own an a7 but assume it will work. I am using mine in Paris with my Canon 5D and 24-105 Lens with no problem. I really like the portability.

You don't want this lens for the a7. It will attach and take photos in crop mode. But you would be much better off with a full frame lens (either native E mount, or another full frame lens with a compatible converter). If you had higher quality non-full-frame e-mount lenses, those might be worth using in crop mode, I suppose. But this lens has too many optical compromises.

It will work with both the a7 and 7r, but only in cropped mode. This means the image will not be the full size of images taken with FE lenses like the 35mm and 55mm. I planned to get the NEX7 successor, but ended up getting the a7r. There are no wide angle lenses for the a7/a7r cameras, but I want to get the FE lenses for my new camera. The lens is brand new, and has only been taken out of the box one time.

No it does not.If you have bought a self stabilising lens then you have wasted a lot of money.The A77 needs no more than an excellent piece of glass and 'hey presto' the job is done.Leave expensive dedicated lenses to those who sadly have no option.
