A:Answer Hi Gabe, in order to use this lens on the NEX-VG30 camera you would need either the LA-EA3 or LA-EA4 (A mount to E mount lens adapter). However, there will be some following limitations :
LA-EA3 = Available with a Mount Adaptor.
The SteadyShot is not supported.
Operation sound of the diaphragm is recorded with the internal microphone.
The focus area cannot be selected arbitrarily.
Autofocus function (AF-S (single AF) can be used. (orig : Autofocus function (AF-S (single AF)) can be used. * With an A-mount lens attached, the autofocus speed will be slower than when an E-mount lens is attached. (It takes approximately 2 to 7 seconds (based on Sony's measurement standard). It may vary depending on the subjects or brightness of the shooting environments.) * Autofocus does not work while recording movies.)
LA-EA4 = Available with a Mount Adaptor.
The SteadyShot is not supported.
Operation sound of the diaphragm is recorded with the internal microphone.
When you record movies with autofocus, the operating noise of the lens may be recorded.
If you use MF (Manual Focus), the shutter speed and the aperture can be adjusted during the movie recording. If you use AF (Autofocus), the aperture will be fixed to F3.5, or the largest aperture if the lens' largest aperture is smaller than F3.5, during the movie recording. (the shutter speed can be adjusted.)
The focus area cannot be selected arbitrarily.
