After reading so many poor reviews about auto focus and image sharpness, I was very nervous about ordering this, but I am quite pleased with the results. If you're a longtime Minolta/Sony fan, you will be too. I think most of the critics are too young and too spoiled, expecting instantaneous focus and perfection. Obviously, your lens quality is the most important factor. This adapter won't magically make a midrange lens suddenly output images comparable to a high end lens. And if you are shooting sports or hummingbirds, modern auto focus drives are better suited. But if you are a casual photographer, or even a portrait/wedding photographer, why not take advantage of the tons of inexpensive legacy glass out there, especially if you already own many? Don't get too caught up in the latest and greatest tech. Seriously, for that 10% gain in image quality of modern glass, you'll pay dearly.
Compatability:
Minolta 70-200mm F/4 "beer can" lens. ✅️
Minolta 20mm F/2.8 ✅️
Minolta 50mm F/1.7 ✅️
Tamron 28-300mm F/3.5-5.6 ✅️
Sigma 24mm F/2.8 ❌️
The only drawback is that when shooting video, the auto focus doesn't work. Just buy a FE prime lens if you need video.

Sony's last A-mount surprise, which makes moving to e-mount easy, as long as you follow the rules ;)
