Lens adaptor will work, but field of view is slightly reduced. Pictures turn out well. Auto focus obviously does not work, but auto exposure is unaffected.

It will only work as a manual focus lens and not an autofocus. I havent looked for any manual and autofocus adapters because all the older lenses I have are strictly manual. Even though you can only shoot in manual, the adapter is worth it. :)

Too many people giving bad info here. This is for the Minolta MD lenses, the Minolta AF/Maxxum lenses weren't compatible with the MD's so they won't work with this adapter either.

No, this adapter is for the older Minolta MD bayonet mount. The Fotodiox adapter at Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter, Sony Alpha (Konica Minolta Maxxum Auto Focus) Lens to Canon EOS EF/S Camera should work though. Don't know if all the EOS lens functionality is supported but it is a place to start investigating.

Dear Mr. South: I have purchased a 35-80 mm canon lens and it works fine on my digital SRL rebel t3 camera. But it is a digital camera and it was made around 2007 or 8. I don't know if this lens will work with the elan eos which is pre-digital. I think Canon moved from EF to an EFS style lens mount. There is an article on this at wikipedia. I hope this is some help to you. Sorry, I did not have a predigital canon, only a pentax so I don't know about compatibility on that platform. This might be a very good question for a guest on quora which is a knowledge question and answer platform on the web. Sorry I hope that answer was of some help to you. Otherwise the lens functions fine.

It did NOT work for me i had to turn around and purchase this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003EB0AXY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1423098477&sr;=8-1&keywords;=canon+fd+to+ef+lens+adapter&dpPl;=1&dpID;=41gbuytPJPL&ref;=plSrchπ=AC_SY200_QL40 as it wouldnt focus. Click the link i now have that one and the difference is there is glass on the one with the link and not with the one you are asking about. Hope that helps

I have used several Sony alpha and Minolta Maxxum lenses with my Sony E mount camera in a manual focus mode. I like that I can adjust the aperture of the lens with this adapter. You may have to set your camera to fire without a lens, since it will not detect the adapter.

this is a lens adaptor that will mount a different lens to your camera. I use an older canon prime lens on my sony a57. This unit does not fit well but is manageable. Can only use on manual- no auto focus. Will remove from your camera and lens you are using it with.

The general reason for getting this adapter is to use an older (pre-digital era) lens on a newer micro-four-thirds digital camera. If you use this adapter, there will be no communication between the lens and the camera. So you'll have to focus manually using the focus ring on the lens, and also set the lens' aperture manually using the aperture ring on the lens. If you have a newer Minolta/Sony lens with auto-focus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_AF), it may be a different mount than the MD or MC mount (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_SR-mount) that this adapter is for.

This is an adapter only. It does not allow any electronic connections. That means that any Olympus Lens you attach to your Canon camera is manual focus only. I only use this with older lenses that have both focus and aperture on the lens.

If you have this adapter. It will let you mount any A mount lens to the camera. You will have manual focus only.

You can't use autofocus. These adapters are basically designed so that you can use the lovely AI and AI-S manual Nikon lenses on the modern EOS bodies. You can use them in aperture priority mode, too (where you set the aperture, and the camera sets the rest). But the other program modes that rely on setting the aperture automatically won't work.

Cindy, I purchased an EA1 adapter and returned it. Although it was a nicely constructed adapter it caused me to loose 1F stop from an already slow lense and it did not carry forth full auto focus capabilities, only auto exposure. I'm still searching for better options. These appear to be the differences: AE1- Converts Sony A/ Minolta mount to E mount. Auto exposure but no or limited auto focus. AE2- Converts Sony A/ Minolta mount to E mount. Auto focus, auto exposure w/ transluecent mirror. AE3- Same as AE1 but updated model. AE4- Same as AE2 but updated model If you really want an EA 1 or 2 there are other internet suppliers that still have these in stock.

It all depends on what you want for focus. It works fine otherwise but for autofocus, it's very poor. Figure on manually focusing if you buy this adapter. Works fine for me but I don't use it with long lenses (because I never use long lenses)

Autofocus does not work with this adaptor. Use manual focus. It's like driving a stick shift car - once you learn, you will have more fun.

It will only work in manual focus mode with the 50-500mm (i.e. you'll have to focus the lens manually). Like any other 2x converter it will not only double the focal length, but also decrease the aperture by two stop making the lens too dark for any camera to focus automatically (i.e. f/6.3 -> f/18 @ 500mm)!The camera autofocus only works on lens faster than f/2.8, like the 70-200 f/2.8 (or 120-300 f/2.8) for example with this 2x teleconverter

It's for Canon FD mounts, The new ones are EF I believe. The FD lenses were discontinued in the early 90's.You also have to shoot in manual mode as autofocus will not work.

John I used a Minolta to Canon converter to use my old Minolta MD Rokkor manual lens on my digital Canon. It worked fine. I'm pretty sure that the converter will work for your sigma lens but caution as to whether the AF will work. It's probably still worth buying the converter and trying it as you have a good lens that would otherwise go to waste. Hope this helps. Neil

hi george, in my eos canon 350d, work very good, but only in manual, not in autofocus

I can't say that I have. The lens I use this adapter on does not have an Auto-Focus. Having said that the AF on my other lens has been acting a little strange lately.
