Guten Abend

Ich habe vor einiger Zeit zusammen mit der a77 das Objektiv 2.8/16-50 SSM gekauft, habe auch von früher Minolta-Objektive die an der a77 auch funktionieren

Nun möchte ich die A7 IV kaufen - funktionieren die oben beschriebenen Objektive an der a7 IV

Vielen dank für die Antworten

Thanks for switch to English language.

Your old A77 has A mount (ex Minolta) and aps-c sensor, your new A7iv has E mount and full frame sensor.

You can use your old lenses on A7 but you need for an adapter like LA-EA5 or oldest LA-EA4 and LA-EA3 to be able to mount the lenses and probably you’ll maintain all automatisms (check on compatibility chart of the adapter you’ll choose).

I have to release some personal opinions.

Your lens is for aps-c only, so your are going to buy a fullframe camera but you’ll use only half of his resolution and performance.

In addition, as personal experience, I can say that newer native E mount lenses are way more better in speed and optical quality.

You should consider to buy an adapter only in case you have a particular old lens (fullframe) that you want to use. In other cases I recommend to made a full switch from A mount to E mount.

Thank You for the excelent explanation

I think the best way is to buy the camera with new Objectivs, as you mentioned it

best regards
