I see a Sony Alpha adapter in the price list.
But rumors have it it does not yet support AF...


Unfortunately, this is confirmed.

http://www.dpreview.com/previews/sonynex5/

\"A mount adapter will be available, giving the ability to use Sony and Minolta Alpha-mount lenses. The LA-EA1 adapter will have a motor to control the lens aperture but no way of driving the autofocus (even for SSM and SAM lenses with built-in focus motors).\"

I must admit I am baffled by this, and disappointed. I hope Canon will make an adapter that will enable both AF and IS in EF/EF-S lenses.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
