The focus sensors are in the body ofcourse, not the lens.
Thought Samyang may have incorporated something like this in their lenses. |
You seem to be able to get AF confirm chips programmed to order for whatever focal length and max aperture you like - as long as it is for M42 lenses. I can not find the equivalent for T-mount lenses to go on Sony alpha bodies. This makes no sense. They make one that reports 50mm f/1.8 so why not the others? I'd like one to report 500mm f/6.3
