Is there an adapter for my Sony A77M2 that will allow me to use my Canon 7D lenses? I'm currently using a Sony 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 SAM as my walk around lens and I would like to use some of my Canon lenses. I'm also looking for some good A mount lenses. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There are adapters, but I don't think you will get infinity focus without an extra lens in the adapter which makes the image larger like a teleconverter.

The mirrorless cameras such as the Sony A6000 have a much shorter distance from flange to sensor (18mm vs the 44.5 of the A77m2) and can use adapters without a lens in the middle. I did watch a You Tube segment recently using a Canon lens on a A6000 using a Metabones adapter and the focus time was really, really long -- perhaps as much as 4 seconds per shot.

Thanks, Jim, I'm finding difficult to get some good glass without spending big bucks for Sony"s high end glass.

I did go to Lens Rental and tried their Sony Zeiss 16-80 f/3.5-4.5 for six days and did some comparison shots and found very little if no differences. Not worth the additional costs over my current lens.

Thanks again, Jim.
