Remember that massive leak of Sony cameras that are heading towards us like the NEX-7 and Alpha A77? Well, add one more hole to Sony’s ship (which is good for us!) with this latest leak that reveals Sony’s new LA-EA2 lens adapter. This new adapter allows you to use lenses which were originally created for Sony’s mirror-less Alpha lineup. As Wired puts it:

 Sony’s smart take is to put a translucent mirror in there to skim a little bit of light from the image traveling to the camera. This is then sent to a phase-detection autofocus sensor in the base. 

With the ability to use different Sony camera lines with different Sony lenses, Sony is bringing the family full circle with this latest adapter and giving buyers another reason to invest solely in the Sony camera world. Just as a reminder, NEX lenses can also be used on Sony NEX camcorders which again further strengthens Sony’s position.
