A warning about the LA-EA2 adapter with FS100

[MazingerZ]

... Now that I've seen that "push to focus" works, however, I feel a bit better about things.

Keep in mind that when you "Push to AF", it also changes the aperture to 3.5 while focusing.
So if you manually set the aperture at 1.4, it will focus at 3.5 when you push the button, then change back to the manually selected aperture setting when you release the button. But now the focus can be off because the DOF becomes narrower at 1.4, compared to the D0F when it focused at 3.5.

It's also a bit annoying because it switches to auto-everything (auto-shutter, auto-WB, auto-ISO) while you "Push AF", then changes back to manual when you release the button.

Sadly, no. With the LA-EA2 the iris (manual only) still opens wide first before each adjustment.

Mine doesn't, it seems to work okay. Perhaps it's down to the lens? Which lens are you testing with?

Which tends to darken the image and makes a clicking sound . So push to af is not very useful whilst recording which is a big shame
