I do as well, because SONY/MINOLTA does not has the lens (Peleng 8mm FE). In the future most likely the Tilt-Shift lens as well.

See here ... http://haodascreen.com/m42minolta.aspx

I don't use that cause it doesn't support the focal length I'm using.

THe chip is on the adapter and the camrea beeps and Af confirmation lights up when subject is in focus. Metering is also enabled with your M42 lenses.

So let me get this straight...

The electronic lens adaptor makes manual M42 lenses work on SONY DSLR... this allows focus confimation plus AS support?! I gather that these lenses are all primes right? And cheap?
