I got the original manual focus adapter in 2015 for £250 . When the opportunity to get an AF unit for £150 came up via a crowd funding site came up I jumped on it !
Yes, I saw a lot of good examples with the LA-VE2 adapter, incl. a few problems on some kind of lenses. I own the whole Vectis lens park too and I'm awaiting the new adapter in the next couple of days. Will have to find an E-mount camera as body (a6400,6500,6600?): I know there are 2nd hand offerings (or cheap new old stock) in town.
Which Sony would you suggest for this purpose?
Sorry about the late reply , I didn't spot your post .
I got the Sony a6600 mainly because it is 100% compatible with the Sony LA-EA5 to use my Minolta/Sony A mount lenses on with OSPDAF rather than the old Sony LA-EA4 with its old SLT AF unit .
Also a big bonus in having IBIS that can be set manually for MF lenses , and gives it to all modern lenses fitted to it .
Choice of camera really comes down to budget if you don't use the Sony LA-EA5 where only the a6600 can use it fully .
Check the reviews on here , and the specifications , and get the one that suits you .
Preferably one with image stabilisation , so that really narrows it down .
