I'm wanting to use my old AF/MAXXUM 28-105mm on my newer EOS 300D Canon. WILL THIS ADAPTER WORK?? I've been told it will only work as a manual focus lens, is there an adapter that will allow both manual and auto focus??

Too many people giving bad info here. This is for the Minolta MD lenses, the Minolta AF/Maxxum lenses weren't compatible with the MD's so they won't work with this adapter either.

You can't use autofocus. These adapters are basically designed so that you can use the lovely AI and AI-S manual Nikon lenses on the modern EOS bodies. You can use them in aperture priority mode, too (where you set the aperture, and the camera sets the rest). But the other program modes that rely on setting the aperture automatically won't work.

Hello - I bought this adapter thinking it would fit those lenses - and it didn't. I have both the 50mm f/1.8 and the 28 mm f/2.8 - both didn't fit b/c there's a metal stub at the bottom that does not allow it to mount on the adapter. The only lens I had that fit was the 75-150mm lens.I wouldn't buy it.

My difficulty with using this type of lens is the fine focus adjustment. It was not possible to do on my Canon 60D. Is there any way to adjust the lens?

Mine were Minolta AF lenses from an old film camera. To a canon 5D Classic with EF (not EF-S and I don't know about that) and it works great. It is manual operation but IM ok with that. Good quality. Works fine for me. Contact the manufacturer directly and they will answer. But buy on amazon. Its cheaper.

I have used several Sony alpha and Minolta Maxxum lenses with my Sony E mount camera in a manual focus mode. I like that I can adjust the aperture of the lens with this adapter. You may have to set your camera to fire without a lens, since it will not detect the adapter.

OK, let me preface my answer by noting that I rarely use my cameras for video. I have just tried a test video and it looks like it does autofocus with the 18-55 mm lens that comes with it. How it does with other EF lenses, I don't know, but since AF is built into the adapter, I would assume the same.

I use it on a Maxxum D5, which is an AF lens mount (I believe all the 35mm cameras listed use A or AF). The A3000 uses E-mount lenses, so I cannot tell you if this adapter will work, but I doubt it. I have read that it should work using a E to A/AF adapter, but a quick Google for a T-adapter for the A3000 turned up quite a few in this price range; why pay for an adapter and a T ring when you can just get the right ring for your camera? In any case, good luck!

The auto focus will not work. You must focus it manually. It is my understanding that the reason is because a Canon lens pulls power from the camera battery to work. So since there is basically a divider between the lens and camera with the adapter in place, it will not work. I understand that a company by the name of Red Rock makes an adapter for this, but it is expensive compared to this and it's also quite large in size. After seeing the large size of it and price, I didn't pursue it.

I use a 7D and will be upgrading to a 6D. I can tell you it does not work with my 7D and a Canon 100 -400mm L series lens. I have to rely on manual focus which is a real bummer! I really don't want to pay Canon's price for their 2x teleconvertor, but may have no choice. Hope this helps

JohnI used a Minolta to Canon converter to use my old Minolta MD Rokkor manual lens on my digital Canon. It worked fine. I'm pretty sure that the converter will work for your sigma lens but caution as to whether the AF will work. It's probably still worth buying the converter and trying it as you have a good lens that would otherwise go to waste. Hope this helps. Neil

Hi! you can use any FD to EOS adaptors. Of course you have to set the F/stop and focus yourself. Some of these adaptors work better than others. The adaptors from Fotodiox are much better made. They cost a little more but you will get no play with the lens on the adaptor. Hint, Mount the adaptor to the lens then the whole unit to the body. Make sure you have the index marks lined correctly or they lens or the adaptor will get stuck.. A little practice any they will be as sharp as the autofocus lenses...

It will fit any Canon FD lens & allow you to use on an EOS camera. You will still need to focus the lens and set the aperture manually. I was not happy with the converter that I received. The lens made the images blurry and It was only good for some kind of blurry abstract images. I set aside and have not used it since.

The adapter I got only allows the lens to fit on the canon, but autofocus does not work. I don't have a sigma lens, so I'm not sure whether yours would autofocus.

It won't work well, you need a full manual lens with aperture ring to use it in this adapter (in any adapter I think) otherwhise you won't be able to control the aperture and it will stay at F/22.You need something like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0000BVDZC

I use a 70-300 Sigma. It will work but on manual you can zoom all the way and focus yourself. If your on auto focus it will work only till about 200 mm then it won't focus anymore. But this is what happens with this lens. Can say for sure if it will on any other. As for picture quality I did notice a fair difference. Not very clear when zoomed all the way. But need to try with a tripod. I got it for my birding and does not work well for that for me.

Is the mount for that lens a Contax/Yashica mount? If yes, then it should have no issues mounting onto that ring adapter and then onto any of those Canon bodies you listed. I did a quick search and a 28mm lens came up for it. You might want to read the reviews first. I recall someone else posting about a wide angle lens having issues.
