Can I use my auto-focus with these filters?

Yes you can....but depth od field is so.critcal when doing Macro photgraphy that I would not use it. But yes the camera works as always.

Not that I could successfully. I wasn't impressed with them, they got returned.

Yes you can, but bear in mind with the lenses on that the focal range gets nearer and narrower - e.g. with the 10x lens you won't be able to focus beyond about 2 inches and the depth of field is about 1/4 of an inch.

yes you can- take auto focus off in settings and you can manually adjust to a point- the company I work for used it to make ID badge pictures though it is limited if you're trying to use it as a portable pocket digital camera.

You can control auto-focus. Portrait mode defocuses the background, which you can avoid by shooting in another mode.

On the D80 you have to prefocus before using the filter as the D80 has no live view and you cannot see anything with the filter attached, AF and metering do not work either. That required the camera be tripod mounted and all auto functions set to manual. It is much simpler to use it on a newer camera with live view mode such as a D7000.

With the LAEA4 auto focus works when used with Alpha lenses. Otherwise you would have to manually focus which isn't sometimes but not for all shots.

I can't say that I have. The lens I use this adapter on does not have an Auto-Focus. Having said that the AF on my other lens has been acting a little strange lately.

With this filter the camera does not auto focus or do the auto exposure correctly because this filter lets in so little light for the auto focus/exposure to work. The way I use it is to first get a exposure reading without putting on the filter. Then set an exposure using the manual setting (M) that is 8 to 9 stops higher to account for the filter (I decrease the shutter speed by 8 to 9 stops). I also at this point switch to manual focus (or auto focus without the filter and then set it to manual focus on the lens). Now I put on the filter and take the picture. Even though the filter is rated as 9 stops you may need to bracket manually between 8 to 9 stops to get the right exposure.

Autofocus does not work with this adaptor. Use manual focus. It's like driving a stick shift car - once you learn, you will have more fun.

AutoFocus was fine. Some circumstances, e.g., bird watching, require manual focus.

I hope you get an answer from someone who is more familiar with the filters, I bought them for a friend. However I do use her camera at times and I only use auto focus and I have had the filters on it so I don't think it affects it. The filters are not high end but appear durable and are fun to experiment with for a very novice picture taker, I by no means consider myself a photographer.

As long as your camera allows you to fine-tune the auto-focus for lenses you should be fine!

Indeed you can, the electronic pass-through works perfectly well even when stacked, so EF and EF-S lenses still retail full functionality for auto-focus.With that said, I would like to add that even though the pass-through works, and auto-focus still functions, the camera has a hard time focusing at that close of a range and I recommend using manual focus. Either way, your exif information on the photos will still show the proper lens setup, but does NOT include any information about the EF 12 or EF 25 attachments. :)

Yes you can also use a manual focus. it isn't something that I would use but it is there

Hi Keith, I do not use filters on my lenses. I do use the lens hoods. After 33 years as a professional photographer I find the filters a bit of a pain.

Your lenses will fit, but unless they have a built in motor they will not autofocus, only manually.

As long as the filter thread on those lenses is 52mm, yes you can. You just need to check what the thread size is for the lens.
