Hopefully there’s life after dead.

Many are still using their old and newer bodies and will keep doing that as long as they are satisfied with the quality.

There is even more life for the old lenses. I have just recently bought a second hand Sony La-ea4 adapter and converted this one with a Monster adapter circuit board to La-ea4R. It brings a lot of more focusing points together with a faster focusing speed. Still have to run more tests, but the Minolta AF 100mm macro f2.8 , 100-300 AF D, 70-210 f4 beercan, 80-200 f2.8 high speed and 400 f4 high speed are a lot faster then before , and correct focusing. Haven’t done tests under different light conditions.

Happy me, hope to find more good A mount glass in the near future at reasonable prices.

Long live A-mount on my E-mount bodies. (And my old Minoltas)
