Currently available via eBay but not anything other than just a mount. Not planning to post pics with the electronics just yet.  autofocus has worked but then got an error so need to test some more.

Yes but all you will get is aperture adjustment. Autofocus and OS are not always compatible. Worse case, I can try it. HappySnapper90 wrote in post #10722880 Why would you want to use this on a nex? It makes no sense. Why not use it on a camera where it will properly function and perform? Explain to me what part makes no sense, I'll try and clarify for you. Personally, since the switch, I am more happier with the IQ than I was with my Canon bodies even with the limited functionality for now. And if I can get af and aperture adjustments working, I'll be even happier. Everyday, a programmer finds a way of creating an idiotproof program.

I'm not talking about a Canon mount Sigma lens with an adapter or something, but rather the Sony mount, which I would think should work  Exactly, had no reports come back yet for the operation of IS/OS/VR/OSS support via the Sony mount adaptor (LA-EA1). Autofocus defo will not function only confirmed operation even with the official Sony Alpha mount adaptor is aperture adjustment. Everyday, a programmer finds a way of creating an idiotproof program.
