AF performance isn’t affected by the body since the LA Ea4 has its own AF module.

I have two adapters and my lens focuses accurately without fine tuning, however once you fine tune, it should do the job. I use the center point only, I found any other points aren’t accurate when tracking. Hope this helps.

great work as usual…but you already know that! ;)
I’m also shooting people mostly with Nikon gears..but i also have Sony A7r with several lenses and with the 135 f1,8 ZA and LA-EA4, i really love the 135ZA but i can’t find a way to make it working properly for slow moving people. First i had to fine tune the lens with adapter to -11 for the central AF point (external points require different values so i can use only the central one and than recompose…) than i tried different settings but the most reliable one is with AF-s and half-push to focus, keep pushing and recompose than shoot. This way i find really difficult to use a monopod as you say here because of the limitated ability to move in the composition. I’d really appreciate or impressions and advices if you have some…
I’d really love a new adapter with a better spread of AF points!
Thank you
Simone

I usually shot this lens from a monopod attached to the LA ea4.

Any third-party options you try?
