Will the Minolta 28-80mm 3.5-5.6 kit lens be compatible with the Sony A65 without the use of an adapter?

It should fit without any problems. I purchased the Sony camera because I had Minolta lens.

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.

Yes, I believe it will work. If your 28-80 is an A mount, and I think it is, It will work.

This adapter fits on E-Mount cameras which allows A(Alpha) -Mount lens to fit on it, from looking at the specs of the a6000, it does say that this is a camera with an E-Mount structure. You need to find out what mount your Sigma lens has, Sigma has built the same lens with several mount, look it herre : http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=Sigma+17-70mm+f%2F2.8-4+DC+Macro&N;=0&Init;ialSearch=yes&sts;=ma&Top;+Nav-Search= once you know that, you will be able to tell if the adaptor will work.

I'm quite confused by sony's new naming system for its E-mount cameras now. i don't have a6000, but if a6000 is E-mount, then this E(camera)-A(lenses) adapter should allow you to use any sony A-mount lens or minolta AF lens on sony E-mount camera, without autofocus.

I really dont know, and it does not matter, because its a quality camera of very solid build, and charger and battery vere included. Another reason was that all my wonderful Minolta AF lenses fits the A-Mount. I bought D. Bushs book about A850 later, and I rekomend that one too. Good Luck!

I am not sure all of those items are compatible. For a card, I just used a SD HC card. My old lenses were A-mount auto-focus as is the A77II lenses so they worked. As for the flash, my old flash I used with the 35mm was not compatible but I don't know about more recent flashes such as you might have with the A65. I do understand that there is an adapter that might work with the old flash with the newer cameras. I am planning to investigate that option. Has to be much cheaper than buying a new flash. Hope that helps.

The Sony A6000 is an E mount out of the box and will work the lens you are asking about. That being said any A-mount lenses will only work via an LA EA adapter such as Minolta/Konica Minolta Maxxum lenses. Stick with E mount lenses.

Austin, There is no adapter to the Minolta wide angle lens. We appreciate your inquiry.

The Sony adapter worked for my A65. Are you sure you have the Sony adapter?

It will work in manual focus mode only. The AF lens loses is auto because there is no circuitry to connect the Canon body to the adapter and on to the minolta lens. But this works for me.

Hi Brandon, This lens is compatible on the A7 camera. No adapter needed. Vincent

I am not sure. We went to the Sony store in our mall to make sure our Minolta lenses would fit before we decided to purchase the camera. I would call Sony or visit a store to make sure because you decide.

This lens works for both my Sony A700 and A77 so most likely will work for your A65. This lens is built to work on Sony DSLR cameras but to be sure check with Sony.

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.

I have the same lense and it works fine. The auto focus and lense mount are compatible. Sony uses the same lense mount that Minolta used. Best of luck.

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!
