This adapter is designed to attach an a-mount lens to a camera designed for e-mount lenses. I bought this one soon after I bought my first e-mount camera, the Sony Alpha A7r2 (ILCE-7RM2) so I could use my collection of Minolta and Sony a-mount lenses on it. I now use it on both the A7r2 and my A7r3 cameras.
