Has anyone used Minolta film camera lenses with the A100? Same mount?

Yes, virtually all Minolta film camera lenses are compatible with the A100, or any Sony Alpha camera for that matter. When Sony acquired Konica Minolta, they made their cameras backwards compatible, so as to allow for Sony DSLR users to utilize older Minolta lenses. Look for "A-Mount"

Yes, I had a minolta for years and purchased a sony dlsr. Have telephoto and wide angle lens for the minolta and they both interchange on my sony camera.

Yes we had Minolta Max 7000 35 mm and bought Sony a100 our lens fit perfect and takes great pictures

Yes it is, most all Minolta lenses should fit and function, but may not sync with all the Preset buttons..like, AV, M, P, SV...You said old Minolta lenses, perhaps too old it will not AF, just use manual focus only...And you can also use Minolta flashes too.

The Minolta adapter has a small lens built in to the adapter. I didn't find this worked as well as the adapters with out an additional lens. I didn't like the results. I used it once.

Every Minolta AF lens will fit and work. Minolta started producing Auto-Focus lenses around 1985 and then Sony acquired Minolta a few years ago. Avoid the pre-'85 MD and MC mount lenses. Carl Zeiss also make lenses for Sony and they have a Sony badge on them. Sony owns shares in Tamron, there are plenty of Sony mount Tamron lenses. Tokina also produce lenses for the Sony mount. Sigma is the next one, however Sigma don't license the micro chips embedded in lenses and Sony have made a change to the lens mount chip on the A33/35/55. Sigma's existing lenses may not be fully compatible with the A33/A35/A55, the error that pops up is a rare minor irritation and easily resolved though. If you are buying a new Sigma lens, ensure that it states on the box that it is compatible with the A33/A55 SLT cameras, I have a new Sigma lens with that logo on the box. If you have a problem with a Sigma lens, you may need to return it to Sigma so that they can re-chip it for free if you have proof or purchase, or a small fee without. Edit: Sigma HSM lenses, including A33/55 compatible ones, require a further update to correct autofocus lens issues on the A65/77. There are HUNDREDS of Sony fit lenses.

Well, where I'm from the Minolta series is called Dynax and I have a 700si. The Fotodiox fits very well on the 50mm Macro & 75-300mm zoom lens for my Fuji X-e1. I believe the mount should be the same for the Maxxum series lens. Additional point about this adapter: There are no click stops for aperture. So you're pretty much on your own for deciding what exact aperture you're on between "Lock" & "Open". I guess you can do your own calibration & make markings on the adapter, but the absence of click stops means that you'd have to look at the adapter to make an aperture change. Big bummer...

I believe the a7 uses a Minolta mount this is an nex mount which is different

Sony has not changed the configuration of the old Minolta A (autofocus) mount lenses. They have added additional electrical contacts on newer lenses, but your old Minolta A mount (autofocus as opposed to the Minolta MD manual focus) lenses work perfectly, they will autofocus and set the aperture exactly the same as they did on your old Minolta bodies.

If the A230 uses the Alpha mount they should be compatible, I would double check here is a link on the specifications. http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/news-item.pl?news_id=193&mdl=SAL1855 The best part about the Sony Alpha Model Body's is you can purchase Old Minolta lenses on ebay fairly cheap. I personally have purchased about 4 Minolta lenses and let me tell you the quality of the optics is superb. My favorite lens is the Minolta Maxxum AF 50mm 1.7 Prime. You can find it for around $50 on eBay.

When Sony purchased Minolta, Sony continued to use the same mounting system for its lenses. Therefore, all the SLR lenses that Minolta made fit the SLR cameras now produced by Sony. Just viewing the images of the a57 suggests to me that it has the same lens specifications as the other a series cameras. I have the a200 and the a77 and the lens fits and works perfectly on both cameras.

My understanding is that they are compatible with Minolta mounts, but I have not personally tested or confirmed this.

Oh yes, you can use Minolta, any new Sony, Carl Zeiss... As long as its alpha mount

I wasn't familar with the Max 7000 camera so I did some research and found out that the MAXXUM uses the same "A" mount which was introduced today as Sony's Alpha mount. You can find additional information at : http://www.kenrockwell.com/minolta/maxxum/7000.htm.I own the minolta 50mm f1.f AF Lens and use it on my Sony Alpha 77 and love it. I have taken great pictures with it.

Are you asking if they fit into the A6000 or how well they work overall? These Phottix mount to the Minolta hotshoe.

I wish that I had read your post a few days ago... I have a Sony A350 and guess what my Husband acquired for me. A Minolta md mount. whoops. Luckily, it was only a few pounds on ebay but is there any way I can fit this to my camera?

I have a Sony a200 and the lens works great with it! My aunt has the Sony a100 and the cameras are nearly identical so I would think it would work just as well with the a100.

I don't know. All my lenses are MD, and it works great. The Maxxum came along after that, and I'm not sure if the mount is the same for sure. You might search around on the web for a "Minolta" blog page and ask this question there.Ask if MD lenses work on a Maxxum mount. If they do, then I would say you're good to go. Don't forget that you lose all the "automatic" features of the lens. it will operate manually, also don't forget the 1.6 conversion factor. The lens will become a 120mm-480mm focal length on the SL1. I hope it works out for you as well as it did for me. I am able to use all my old Minolta MD mount lenses on my T3i. (manually) It's still fun! Hope this helps you out. I don't know.

It may not. All my Minolta gear was for MD mount, and it works fine, though all manual. When the newer Maxxum cameras came out, I think the mount changed. Need more info about your older camera. Sorry, that's the best I can do.
