Does a 25 year old Minolta Maxxum lens adapt to a new Fujifilm X-E2..?

Hello Allan, Yes any Lens Sony Or Minolta with a Sony Alpha mount, and any Fuji X series camera.

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...

Yes, any Minolta Auto-Focus (AF) lens, also known as Maxxum lenses, will fit onto the the Alpha-mount of the Sony a57 camera, and the auto-focus mechanism will function as designed. However, earlier Minolta manual focus lenses, designated as MC or MD mounts cannot be installed directly onto alpha-mount Sony cameras.

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 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 previous 33 mm Minolta camera was a Maxxum 7000 with auto focus. The 55 mm lenses do work on my Konica Minolta digital camera body with the auto focus. My son-in-law who is a professional photographer told me that some lenses will not function properly when installed on a new digital camera body. Thus I cannot offer a definitive answer. Sorry.

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!

Hi, I have a Fuji X-M1, it has also a X-mount like the X-E1. My Sony A-mount lens fits on the adapter, so it should work. The aperture is working (more or less), the screen and manual focus also. But I did not manage to shoot a photo, pressing on the button made no photo. Perhaps I had a wrong setting in the menue. Nevertheless the device broke after some minutes. The little button on the left of the device is there for releasing the mounted lens. It broke, I needed a ballpen to release my lens and I sent it back.

Won't work. The bag is great for the ex-2 w/ lens + a 2nd one, but the x100 is going to be too much.

I've heard of this problem, but only with lenses that had a defective aperture ring. I cannot comment about using the specific lens I'm selling with an X-E1, but I used this lens with an X-E2, and it works perfectly!

If it was a Minolta XD-11 or, I believe the XD-7 (I think the XD-11 was called the XD-7 in Europe, for whatever reason) then it will work. My friend has given new life to my old lenses. Keep in mind that all your digital functions will not be available. You will have to be a real photographer. You will need to manually focus and choose your apertures and speeds. This adapter works for Minolta cameras that used to take what was called Rokkor" lenses. Basically they had a little tab on them that triggered the electronic apertures and speeds. Even after-market lenses like Sigma were built for "Rokkor". Good luck!

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.

There is a minolta adapter available for the G1 panasonic. I also have a set of Minolta Rokkor Lenses i used with my XK. I have not seen one for the GF1 one as of yet.

Yes, but there is limited exchangeable options. Old Minolta bayonet type lens (SRT)--no.

Same mount as the Minolta Maxxum, which I have. It works fine. It is a little tricky to remove first time as there are no instructions. You just need to move the small lever towards the camera body.

I own the adapter, I own old AI lenses and EXPECT the combination to work! I have yet to purchase the X E1. (so I cannot tell you for sure)

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.

If size and weight are a major concern, you would be hard pressed to find a more competent system than the Fuji X. The only other option is the OMD EM-1, really, if interchangeable lenses is what you need. My advice? Rent the XT-1 and either the 56mm 1.2 or the 14mm 2.8. Both are phenomenal lenses, and using them with the XT-1 will immediately answer your question for you.
