Hi folks,
I just got a beautiful Sigma 500/4.5 APO for Minolta (A-mount, I believe), and I plan to mount it on A7ii. Which adapter should I buy to achieve best AF performance?

Thank you for reading.

LA-EA1 (only AF with SSM lenses) and LA-EA2 (screw driver AF as well as SSM) only work with APS-C cameras, due to the smaller diameter of the inside barrel, so LA-EA4 is the correct adapter.

Thank you so much, guys. I thought the Sigma 500/4.5 has HSM, but turns out it is not on A-mount version. T'll go with LA-EA4 then.

If its not the A mount version, the Sony adapters will not fit it. What mount is the Sigma for?

Previous owner used it on Minolta Maxxum camera. So it must be A-mount, right ?
