Minolta lenses: Does anyone make a adaptor that will allow me to use those lenses?

I believe that the camera needs to have the auto focus lens, for it to work with this camera. I have been told this by people at Ritz's camera supply.

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.

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.

This adapter works on 4/3 to make MD lenses usable on any 4/3 camera..........I have one Fotasy and one Fotodiax.......both work well so that I can now use all my lenses that fit the Minolta. However only in manual mode........I believe its best to put the camera in "A" mode and you set the aperature.....

Aaron D. Locke has nailed it - get an adapter. They have some here on Amazon that are available with Prime. Be sure to read the reviews. BTW, I use my husband's old FD lenses from his AE-1 on my micro 4/3 camera, and I'm enjoying them greatly. http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-PRO-Lens-Mount-Adapter/dp/B003EB0AXY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332972669&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Manual-Adapter-Optical-Elements/dp/B001KM5K98/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1332972709&sr=1-3

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.

My adapter is for a Minolta MC Rokkor-x. It also fits on an MC Minolta Celtic. You say your lens is a n MD series. I don't know if that would be compatible. I don't know much about various Minolta lens mounts.

You'll need to use an adapter to convert to the old Sony/Minolta interface first. I assume that a suitable adapter will work, but have not tried it yet.

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.

Dear Pamela, It didn't work when I bought it. There is far too much slack between the ring and the Minolta lenses. Poul Bjerregaard, Odense, Denmark

yes, just need to check which canon lenses you have before selecting the adapter. google it, fotodiox for instance offers them

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.

Not without a converter. And it doesn't really make sense to buy this lens since you will need a converter for, unless you also own an A-mount camera or other A-mount lenses (including all Minolta AF ones). The converters are not metal rings of old but actually rather expensive pieces of technology. Look here for more information on converters: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52953935

That adapter is for an older version of Minolta lenses (not autofocus). Its meant to the e mount, the Sony mirror less bodies. This lense will fit your camera without an adapter. The Sony a mount hasn't changed from the most recent AF Minolta mount.

Thank you for contacting us. You may use an old lens with the item you are inquiring about as long as you use the correct adapter to connect the two.

From what I understand you will need the adapters which I also purchased. If you search Gary Fong Sony on youtube he details the adapters required and setup. If the flashes and triggers have the ISO hot shoe then no adapters are required. I believe the phottix equipment I purchased have the Minolta shoe hence why I purchased the adapters.

Let me add, I do not know about adapters for the A100, but they are much less common than for E-mount. Check here on Amazon for "Minolta camera" plus the lens mount that you want to use.
