Still evaluating the exciting LA-Ea4 "Monster adapter", which brings modern focusing capabilities like Eye AF and tracking to older, screw-drive lenses - in this case the classic Minolta 500mm f/8 mirror lens, the only such lens in the world to have AF capabilities when it was first introduced. All A-mount cameras, would switch to a fixed, center focusing point whenever the lens was attached. This was because, historically, the center focusing point was more sensitive and sometimes was made as a “cross-point” sensor, able to recognize both vertical and horizontal contrast. I've been putting this pre-release adapter through its paces for the last couple of months, and I have a lot more tests and can answer a lot of your questions.
