For lenses with autofocus motor built-in (Sony's "SAM", Sigma's "HSM", and Tamron's "PZD"), will autofocus work?

since auto-focus requires transfer of information between the camera and lens, these adapters WILL NOT work. I think your only option might be the SONY manufactured adapters, which do maintain a complete connection between camera and lens. I own three of these adapters; Sony Alpha, Leica Thread, and Pentax Thread mount. All allow me to use the NEX body as a "digital back" for my excellent 35mm film lenses. Hope that helps. And there's nothing wrong with full manual operation; you can see the effects of adjustment on the LCD screen before you take the picture. Hope this helps. And the Sony adapters start around $250...

no electrical connection to camera. Most lenses become manual focus, not familiar with the specific lenses you mention. If they power and function without any input from camera, then maybe. The Fotodiox is a simple mechanical mount.

Yes and it will autofocus. I use it with my d600 and 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200mm. You just adjust the aperture on the camera just like any other lens.

It will work on just about any lens, but may require a step up or down ring, if your lens is not 77mm wide. Autofocus should work with an autofocus lens.

jESSICA, I got an article from Nikonians that affirm it performs auto focus with D--3100/5100/5000/3000/60 and 40. Don't take my word on this and research a bit more, maybe call Sigma and ask them directly. I hope I helped you in some way.

No, it will not work. Your camera does not have an autofocus motor. This lens does not have a motor, either. You need a camera with a motor, or a lens with a motor, or both with motors to have functional autofocus.

If you buy a sigma 70mm for NIKON (mount) it will be 100% compatible and obviously you'll have the autofocus / I had the Pentax mount and the AF motor for that was inside the body not in the lens; anyways the AF for macro won't help at all, as for the portrait range it isn't fast for this lens

I would suggest you check the page that sells this product separately, where there is a widget to check if the lens will work with a given camera. Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 Auto Focus APO DG OS HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR CamerasBased on the answer I got there, it says it will work.

The manual focus version [PK(A) - NEX] works well, even the distance indication on the manual lenses is accurate, no vignetting. Also on tamron lens with PK ring. Can't vouch for this autofocus version but imagine it too would work.

I use it on a d3000 and d7000 . Only time I have issues with it is when it's used on my APO 150-500 sigma lens . The lens has trouble auto focusing .

I don't know. It works fine on both my D70 and D700 with my Nikon 18-200 VR, 55 macro, 70-210 f4.5, Sigma 400 f4.5 prime, and my neice's Nikkor 70-300. Autofocus is iffy(hunts a lot) under weak light, but it does seem to access most functions. If your camera is not backward compatable with Nikon manual and ai lenses, you may have some difficulties, but that's just a guess.

The autofocus worked on my NEX-7 with a Sigma 10-20mm zoom as well as the Zeiss 135mm 1.8 and Zeiss 24-70mm zoom.

It works with all my Nikkor AF-S lenses. You won't actually want to auto-focus - but you may want it to take care of the other settings automatically and manually focus to get things exactly as you want. On a zoom lens, the zoom really becomes a giant focus ring.

Yes, obviously. I really do not know if there are any new lens without autofocus. Anyway autofocus for this particular sigma is not the best you can get.. All good about this lens but the sluggish autofocus which is even worse to impossible near macro

The lens has a built in AF motor, so it should. Double check with Sigma to be sure. BTW, I usually focus with the distance scale for low light indoor stationary subjects. I mainly photograph real estate interiors, and find this works better than AF, especially with a DOF table.

I just figured out how to do this today with my new lens. Since Sigma did not put the autofocus/manual focus switch on the lens itself, you need to go into the information menu (the i menu on the lower left side of the camera) and set your focus mode to manual (change the AF-A on the right side to MF). Once you override the autofocus on the camera, use the outer ring on the lens to focus. Hope this helps! Took me a little bit of research to find this. :)

Should work. Check this web page: http://lenshero.com/lens/Tamron-70-300mm-f4-5.6-Di-LD-Macro-Sony-alpha-lens

Yes it will work. Autofocus is not supported. All you have to do is make sure that "Release w/o lens" option in the setup menu is enabled. Hope this helps.
