I have an a6000, and am hoping to get an a7ii in the coming months. I have a question regarding adapters for legacy glass. Any insights on the difference between the $99 Metabones adapter, the $29 Fotodiox adapter, and the $17 Foatsy adapter? Is it all just build quality? Or something else?

Also any recommendation for a fast prime telephoto somewhere in the 90-200mm range? I've been looking at Canon FD/FL but I'm open to anything really!

Thanks in advance for your time! :)

For that you'll need a macro lens. The only native macro lens right now is this one (and by all accounts it performs really well).

If you are mostly taking pictures of still things or you don't mind focusing manually, the budget option would be to buy an old manual focus lens and an adapter. You can usually pick up the Rokkor 50 mm f/3.5 in the MD or MC version for about $80, and then you can get an ordinary adapter for about $20, totalling about $100 for the whole setup. The Rokkor/Minolta can't quite get to less than 5 inches, but you can definitely take pictures of small insects or the like with it.

Heres a quick rundown on how to use legacy glass and why you should:
Why? Legacy glass is a) less expensive for the same image quality b) handmade that gives the image you take character (hard to explain this one) and c) is very good to strengthen your attention to detail (as you have to think about where exactly you want the focus to be.

How? If you have an e-mount camera, then all lenses should work with your camera, provided that you get the right adapter. For example, this minolta 50mm f1.7 on ebay needs a minolta md to emount adapter from amazon.

How (to use it)?
Once you have the lens and adapter, then you will have to do 3 things differently then when you are using a kit or native auto focus lens.

  1. you will have to manually focus with the focus ring on the lens. This doesn't really take long to get the hang of, especially for wider-angle lenses, and even mid range lenses.
  2. you will have to put the camera into shutter priority (or manual mode) so that you just have to worry about shutter speed and/or iso.
  3. you will have to use the aperture ring to adjust the aperture manually. I'm assuming you know how aperture works. Basically, theres a ring behind the manual focus ring that allows you to go from wide open to f22 or wtv. I usually just leave it at or near wide open when I do portraits.

    What you are talking about is like the LAEA3 LAEA4 adapters that allow you to use a-mount lenses with/without auto focus, respectively. Those are expensive adapters and only get them if you have or are planning to invest in a-mount lenses. For the legacy lenses I'm talking about, any "dumb" adapter will do.

I've been shooting on mine for about a week now and it seems like it works well. Most of the guys on DPReview also use Fotasy adapters. Though to be fair, I've only used [this version] (http://www.amazon.com/Fotasy-NAMDT-Minolta-E-Mount-Adapter/dp/B003XQ6FDE) so I can't speak to the build quality of their other adapters.
