Will Minolta AF lenses work on this type of Sony cameras?

I have owned and used the Sony A mount SLT cameras including the a55, a57, and a77 for over three years and the have a variety of Minolta A mount AF lens and they all work fine.

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.

My Sony a350 accepts the lens from Minolta 7xi and all functions work but the Minolta flash works but does not slave or make the proper adjustments like it did on the 7xi

No. The new sony cameras including the a500 have adopted the E-mount lenses despite the word alpha in their name. The older Sony Cameras that used the alpha-mount lenses are the only ones that can use the Minolta lenses.

No. This is a auto focus lens compatible with the Minolta AF digital and some film cameras and the Sony Alpha "A" digital system camera's. The X700 takes the MD or SR mount manual focus lens.

Yes it is. I have three Minolta Maxxum lenses and bought a Sony because it is compatible with them. It works great with all of them. And since the stabilization is in the camera, not the lenses, you get great pictures of moving objects, like the Space Shuttle.

Yes..I think that all Minolta lenses has A- mount..which is the mount for Alpha Sony cameras....Im using the beercan 70-210mm & the mini beercan 35-70mm with excellent results !!

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, 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.

It is a full frame e mount lens, and does not fit the tradional sony alpha/Minolta lens mount. So, no.

Yes it is! I bought this lens for my a58. Any Minolta lens marked AF (auto focus) is compatible with your camera

JohnI 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

Yes. I have 2 old Minolta lenses and both work great with my Sony a33 and a65.

While I can't confirm 100% as I don't own any Minolta lenses, I can confirm that my existing Sony A Series lenses purchased before this model came out still fit this model. And I understand it all Minolta SLR lenses that fit the A series cameras should fit this camera body as well.

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

It can use any A Mount lens from Minolta. http://www.sonycenter.lu/content/34-objectif-konica-minolta-slt-sony

Yes, the A58 is "A-Mount." Any Minolta autofocus or Minolta "Maxxum" lens or any Sony A-mount lens will fit on your camera.Keep in mind that the Minolta 50mm AF lens will act as a 75mm lens when used on a digital body.

Yes. This adapter will work with any lens that has a minolta MD type mount. I've been using one on my Panasonic AF-100 (a MFT system) with good results.
