Looking to take Soccer shots of my 11 year old with a Sony A7 with A mount adapter, will it work well for that

Yes and it will autofocus very nice and quick with the LA-EA4, HOWEVER keep in mind it does NOT have image stabilization at all. That means if you zoom out to 300mm you REALLY have to be steady and use a beefy shutter speed like 1/500+ This hurts its ability to be used indoors at max zoom. So for an outdoor lens this would be perfect for soccer needs though a bit expensive.

It's a solid lens with good range. If you plan on using it outside, then the lighting should be ample to take the type of shots you're seeking. I have found that indoor shooting is not its strength. But the shots I've gotten are clear and I've been pleased with it. The additional range has come in handy.

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.

It would be fine with a telephoto lens, camera is very good at adjusting quickly to different lighting, I use mine for sports and it works well

Hello. Unfortunately, neither of these will be very good for soccer. It is not a question of zoom, so much as response time. These types of cameras have to clear the sensor before they capture a shot, so none of them are going to be great for sports. They can work ok, but you're likely to miss "the moment". If that is acceptible, try the SX200 (or one of the new Lumix models with the super fast auto focus might be a bit better). But for best results shooting sports, you'd want something that didn't have to clear the sensor, like a DSLR (Canon Rebel, Nikon D40, etc.) Or if you want a small hybrid, you could consider the Lumix GF1, but they aren't cheap.

It works on an A7 without adapter. I have an A7 and this flash and have used it a good bit.

On my A7 it works perfectly ok with my canon lenses. Not so good was the Tokina 12-24mm, but they were really meant for APS sensors anyway, and A Rokinon 8mm fisheye. Hopelessly vignetted, as in literally half the frame missing.

Not sure about the A7 but this does work fine with the converter on the NEX5, which is also a compact camera. Hope this helps.

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.

It is an e-mount frame. So any lenses that are e-mount will be just fine. A-mount lenses will work too with an adapter.

It will work well for action. If you go with the kit lens(es), try to keep the f stop above 5.6. They are sharper in that area. Also, set your focus point to center (most likely). I used it extensively for my daughters indoor volleyball

This lens is an a-mount, FT lens. If attached to the A7 with the correct adapter, such as the LA-EA4, AF and AE will function properly. However, as a DT lens, it will produce significant vignetting and clipping at the edges of the frame unless the reduced sensor area mode is enabled. I would absolutely recommend against using this lens with any full frame camera.

It will work just fine. The only issue that you will face is that you will not be able to use the auto focus features of your camera. I have the exact same lense, that I have been using on my Canon Rebel XSi. On my 5d and my 7d I use the Nikkor series lenses. This simple little adapter has allowed me to shoot some great high definition videos.

Yes it will work fine. U may want to use a larger cam such as a8 or a9 for best performance

Mine worked well with my Sony a77 don't know much bout Nikon these days I switched 5yrs ago

I use it with my A7 fine with no problems. I use a 50mm summicron and get some of the sharpest digital photos I've ever seen. I would never spend $175 for an adapter these work just fine.

Yes, it should work. It will not be automatic focus though. You will have to set the A7 to fire the shutter with "no lens" attached.

Yes. Lenses will work perfectly with a7 but because they are not full frame lenses they won't use the full 24 megapixels of the sensor.

No. The A77 is an A mount and this FE lens is an E-mount (F in FE stands for full 35mm frame coverage). I believe an adapter would be impossible.
