Is this the adapter I need for using my old Minolta/Quantaray lenses with the Sony a3000?

You need the official Sony LA adapters. Remember, Sony makes cameras with both the new E-mount (mirrorless) as well as the old A-mount (which Minolta originally introduced in 1985, and Sony later adopted in their Alpha cameras). The adapters aren't necessarily cheap, but they will autofocus and everything, just like a native lens. Its worth it for me, as the adapter + old Minolta glass is STILL cheaper than the modern E-mount equivalents!

Not sure. Any of the minolta lens' that were part of the maxxum line all fit the Sony A77 which is a result of Sony buying minolta.

Hi, I purchased this specific adapter to mount my very old Minolta lenses to my new Canon EOS Rebel digital camera. The company makes a full line of adapters most of which you can purchase here on Amazon. Look for your specific combination at http://fotodioxpro.com/index.php/lens-mount-adapters.html then return here with the part number and get your best deal by ordering from Amazon. Look at http://fotodioxpro.com/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=EOS+Rebel+ Remember these adapters are for mounting specific lens types to a different brand or series camera. In order to make the focal length work, there is most always additional glass (lens) in the adapter. This insures that the lens will focus correctly at infinity. ALSO!!! In many if not most cases you will lose some auto functionality like auto-focus, auto exposure adjustments etc, since the old lens never supported these functions. In my case, I am now using four old lenses from my old (1969) Minolta SRT-101 35mm SLR camera on my new EOS digital. But focus and exposure I must do my self. Just be sure that the one you order is specific for 1. your camera and 2. the lens series mount for your other lenses.

I have the Sony Alpha 700, but I understand that all of the Sony lenses fit the Alpha cameras, as do the Minolta lenses. I am not familiar with the a3000, however.

I use some of my older Minolta lenses and they work fine in manual mode, I'm not sure about your lenses but you can go into sony's web site and they tell you the lenses that do work.

You have to have an a-mount lens. With this adaptor, practically, you need to do MF (because so slow and only works for SAM lens) but appature can be controlled from the a3000. If you intend to use for quick moving subjects, it is not good at all.

Yes, as long as it is the Minolta to Micro 4/3ds adapter it will be fine. You'll love using it as it opens up a whole world of fabulous inexpensive lenses.

I have the same lense and it works fine. The auto focus and lense mount are compatible. Sony uses the same lense mount that Minolta used. Best of luck.

I bought this adapter for my 5DM3 and T2 so that I could lens whacking using some macro glass. It attaches to both cameras, but I don't have any minolta lenses to try it with. Hope this helped.

Yes it is. I have three Minolta Maxxum lenses and bought a Sony because it is compatible with them. It works great with all of them. And since the stabilization is in the camera, not the lenses, you get great pictures of moving objects, like the Space Shuttle.

I don't know that particular lens. The adapter allows me to use lenses that fit on my old Olympus OM2 camera (from 1980).

All Minolta AF lenses work on all A-mount Sony dSLRs/dSLTs, including the A77ii. (On "E mount" cameras such as the A7, A6000, etc, they require an adapter). There are also Minolta NON-AF lenses (MD, MC lenses), that will not work without an adapter.

Yes. I have 2 old Minolta lenses and both work great with my Sony a33 and a65.

I honestly don't know. However, it's my understanding the Minolta lenses within the last 10 years are compatable with Sony A-Mount cameras. Hope this is helpful.

Sorry. I ordered it by mistake and it was returned it without open the package. Eventually, I got a Vivitar 628AF that it fit my Sony A390 without the adapter. Also, I use my old Minolta Maxxum 7000 flash with an adapter if I need to use it on theSony. They work fine on Manual mode. You may save some money that way. Good luck.

No. This adapter is for the older MD mount lenses. As far as I know this is the one you want: http://www.amazon.ca/Fotodiox-Adapter--Mount-Minolta-E-Mount/dp/B003Y2YE5S/
