Konica Minolta Lenses Look To Be Dead.

I take back what I said above.
.
I've been checking the lens compatibility of the LA-EA5 at the Sony site at
Lens Compatibility with LA-EA5
When I choose a compatible camera listed in the DPreview article, click on it, then click on any of the Konica Minolta lenses listed after the Sony SAL lenses, it says in the first line
"Autofocus Cannot Be Used".
.
So, if their chart is to be believed, Sony have made the LA-EA5 adapter solely to work with Sony SAL lenses and abandoned KM lenses and presumably the older Minolta lenses.
.
If so, this is truly despicable.
Regards,
Renato
