Will my Minolta af lenes fit this camera

I'm using one of my dad's old minolta AF28-70 lens on my A65, so I'd think it should be fine. Sony absorbed (bought?) the Konica Minolta technology, so they advertise that they are compatible.

On the A55 & A65 Cameras the Sony lens are inter-changeable.With this said ... what I did note with my A55 unit, going back a couple of years, was that some 'auto' features ( were not available ) when trying to use another manufacturers lens ( something to do with the 'pin line up' ). Accordingly ... I choice to order the Sony lens at that time.

My husband, to whom I gave the camera, says yes. I am sure he would be glad to help you.

My Minolta auto-focus lenses from the 90's work just fine on Alpha series cameras. The focal length of the lens on a digital camere will be roughly 1.5 times the rated lengths. The sensor is smaller than 35 mm, so some cropping occurs.

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.

As others have indicated, the Minolta lens mount was bought by Sony and so they claim they are compatible.

Mine were Minolta AF lenses from an old film camera. To a canon 5D Classic with EF (not EF-S and I don't know about that) and it works great. It is manual operation but IM ok with that. Good quality. Works fine for me. Contact the manufacturer directly and they will answer. But buy on amazon. Its cheaper.

This will fit basically any camera and lens, as the rods are below the bottom of the camera. This will work fine. I got the Opteka FF180. It's really good for the price point, and you can raise it up to your lens and clamp it there. Hope this helps.

NO!! that particular model only adapts Minolta MC and Minolta MD lens to either of the Micro 4/3 bodies ( Panasonic or Olympus).

It will fit but I'd advise you to find a better quality one. These are cheaply made and a pain to get the straps to hold in place. I returned mine after nearly dropping the camera due to the strap coming loose.

Every Minolta AF lens will fit and work. Minolta started producing Auto-Focus lenses around 1985 and then Sony acquired Minolta a few years ago. Avoid the pre-'85 MD and MC mount lenses. Carl Zeiss also make lenses for Sony and they have a Sony badge on them. Sony owns shares in Tamron, there are plenty of Sony mount Tamron lenses. Tokina also produce lenses for the Sony mount. Sigma is the next one, however Sigma don't license the micro chips embedded in lenses and Sony have made a change to the lens mount chip on the A33/35/55. Sigma's existing lenses may not be fully compatible with the A33/A35/A55, the error that pops up is a rare minor irritation and easily resolved though. If you are buying a new Sigma lens, ensure that it states on the box that it is compatible with the A33/A55 SLT cameras, I have a new Sigma lens with that logo on the box. If you have a problem with a Sigma lens, you may need to return it to Sigma so that they can re-chip it for free if you have proof or purchase, or a small fee without. Edit: Sigma HSM lenses, including A33/55 compatible ones, require a further update to correct autofocus lens issues on the A65/77. There are HUNDREDS of Sony fit lenses.

Yes, it will fit. We have a similar size camera and have used it numerous times without any trouble. We are now travelling Asia with it and couldn't do without it!

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

DOn't know for sure but I think it probably will. I bought the adapter for my granddaughter so she could us use all my Minolta lenses. Eos lens mounts are standard so you shouldn't have any problems. There my be auto features on the camera that don't work but that isn't a big deal.

No. That would need a different adapter. This one is for the Minolta bayonet mount.

Yes it will:).....back in the early 2000 Sony Bought out minolta and Kept the Amount design.This particular mount will not support AF though(incase your not aware).Any questions feel free to ask:)

If the lens would work on a Minolta Maxxum camera then it should fit. The Sony alpha mount is compatible with the old Minolta Maxxum lenses. Good luck.

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.

I would say no. Go to a camera shop and try one on your camera to be sure it fits.

I don't know, but if you buy the one for Minolta, it will fit. That's what I did. Minolta brand is a little cheaper than Sony but the lenses fit just the same. I like the one I bought very much. Glass is very sharp and good. Sharper than my Sigma. Motor sometimes at extremes, is a little slow and loud but it doesn't bother me.

If your Minolta lens fits a Sony A mount camera, the end cap should fit. I have several Minolta lens that fit my Sony A mount and the end caps fit.

I believe you need a Nikon specific adapter. This adapter is for Minolta lenses.
