yup only EA2 got pdaf, but cdaf also usable ma, just slow only....

anyway back to question do u think a 30mm f3.5 e mount or 30mm f2.8 a mount + ea1 adapter
which would be better? leaving price out of the decision/equation??
*
u have Alpha bodies so i suggest the A mount 30mm f/2.8 coz can be used on both biggrin.gif
plus the length of SEL30 f2.8 should be like its kit 1855, is nearly about the same with SAL30f2.8 + LA-EA adapter .
plus with the LA-EA u get more variety AF lenses pair with A mounts icon_rolleyes.gif

hi mastering  thumbup.gif  thanks...i also decided on the 30 f2.8 cos my alpha can use...and i already have the la-ea hahahah  sweat.gif

now time to sell 35 f1.8 for 30 f2.8

anyway ur pancake cannot MF?? can AF or not?? I notice when i select direct manual focus for pancake, seems like have to turn like forever to move the focus...the focus ring like need to go 5-8 rounds before it can focus.....
*
if u sticking to the A mount lens, why not keep the 35mm f/1.8 and get a longer focal macro lens? 50/60/90mm macro hmm.gif
my pancake can AF, just i cant turn the focal ring. it just stuck. SSC say got something stuck inside and they remove it smile.gif

The V5 firmware only adds support for the LA-EA2 adapter.

i noticed on my Nex 3 after update have that Micro Adjust setting in Setup menu. but not working on SEL16f2.8 pancake. probably for the 1855 or lenses on LA-EA2 and those supported by the a77/a65 nod.gif
