I have an Promaster MC lens..Does anyone know why it won't fit this adaptor? Thank you :-)

the tolerances of these adapters are poor, and promaster was also a second quality product. I have had some that were so tight you could not mount the lens, and some so loose I had to add masking tape. You did not say what the problem was - if the mount prongs are totally wrong, the insert in the adapter may not even be for minolta - the quality control is close to zero on these Chinese products.

Does the lens originally fit on a Minolta film camera? The adapters are for the Minolta MD or MC lens or equivalent. I have several that aren't Minolta brand that work just fine. I'm thinking your lens is not a Minolta MC or MD mount. Google lens type and name and images of the back of the lens and see if you can find a match. Here is a link that might help you. http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-99.html. Hope this helps.

The Promaster MC 28mm is made in several different mount types from what I can gather. Canon FD, Nikon AI, Pentax K, Minolta MD. In the case of this lens, I believe MC stands for MultiCoated not the lens mount type. You can see several different kinds of you lens listed here: http://www.hockensmithphotography.com/promaster-2-8/I suggest you look back at the place where you purchased from and see if they listed a mount or search the web to try and find out if the lens has some clue somewhere to tell you which mount it was made for. I suspect its not a MD mount type.

Check out the following website - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_SR-mount. You will note that the adaptor in question is specifically for the MC and MD lenses

Not this particular one. It is for the Micro 4/3's mount camera. However there is one that is specific for the Sony E mount. This is the one you want.Fotasy NAMDT Pro Minolta MD MC Lens to Sony NEX E-Mount Camera Mount Adapter with Tripod Mount. Note that the Fotasy is the dame company as Rainbow Imaging.

It does have an adapter that comes with it. . .however It doesn't fit all lenses. . . .I recall a specific list of the lenses that it will fit in the original advertising . . . .be sure to peruse that list or google it. . . I've seen it in several places.

I don't know about that. But I have not liked the way it fits over the lens. Wish Nikolai would have made the camera lens in a way that you could put a protective lens over it without the adapter. If I have thought about this I would not have purchased this for my 12 year old photographer.

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side. Hope this will help. Richard.

No, this adapter will not work. This adapter is meant for the older Minolta MC and MD mount. You need to get a Minolta AF to Sony adapter.

I suggest buying ONE first to confirm that the adapter is compatible. I purchased 4 units one for each lens but none of them fitted correctly.Unusable.

I have had no problem, although I am not sure how the mc30 would hit your lense. I would try it ,but may but it from a local store so you can try it in the store.

You have to put your camera on manual. This adapter doesn't connect to the camera the same way an already compatible lense would.

There is a metal tab that clips the adapter to the lens when rotated. It's a bit tricky, but you have to hold the clip up while you rotate the adapter off of the lens. This may be really difficult if it's a snug fit. You may need needle nose pliers to compress the tab far enough.

I don't believe it will work. If there is a flange on the back of the lens that extends past the rear element, the adapter will not work. I have Olympus lenses with a short focal length and these all these have the flange. Even the 50mm macro has it so it will not accept the adapter.

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.

I have a 18 to 200 Sigma, the adapter didn't match the lens. The rear section of my lens sticks out beyoung its base. The adapter. Fit my Sigma 120 400 but I couldn't get it focus.

I use this adapter on my NEX7 with a Minolta 50mm 1.4 and it works great. The problem is the camera doesn't recognize that a lens is attached. There is a setting to override this. On the NEX5n I don't know where it is, but it is there. Have fun.

You mean the DMC-FZ200 right? I ordered the conversion lens for it but I did not have right adapter, its still a mystery to me as to which adapter really fits perfectly onto it because the one I ordered did not.
