I have older AF MInolta Lenses. I am told that Sony purchased Minolta and want to know for sure if the 2 lenses I have now will directly fit onto this camera

I purchased the Sony A350 for the same reason, that I had a Minolta and several lenses. I have found that the auto focus does not function properly , it does not focus accurately, when using these lenses. Sony may have an adapter to compensate for this but I don't have that answer.

Sony has not changed the configuration of the old Minolta A (autofocus) mount lenses. They have added additional electrical contacts on newer lenses, but your old Minolta A mount (autofocus as opposed to the Minolta MD manual focus) lenses work perfectly, they will autofocus and set the aperture exactly the same as they did on your old Minolta bodies.

Completely interchangeable. Only older Sigma lenses may not work fully, but those lenses aren't worth keeping anyways.

I too have a Minolta camera 35mm film. I bought this DSLRA350 with the idea that my Minolta lens would fit this new camera. They do not. This is still an excellent camera but you will need to buy lens to fit it. I have been very happy with Tamron AF 18-200mm. I bought it through Amazon.com. I also bought Tamron AF 70-300mm.

I am not an expert on this , but as far as I know , Canon mounts are pretty much the same on all of their cameras so it should work but you will not have the auto features with the Minolta lens.

The Sony A3000 has the same lens fitting as the NEX cameras. They are not compatible with any Minolta lens or Sony Alpha lens. Even if the lens adapter allows you attach the lens, none of the lens movements are conveyed to the camera body to allow for automatic focus, aperture, or zoom.

I also had a Minolta 7000i, with 5 different lenses from Sigma for the Minolta. I took them to Best Buy and tried them on a Sony a230 dslr.......... they all worked flawlessly...........

It may not. All my Minolta gear was for MD mount, and it works fine, though all manual. When the newer Maxxum cameras came out, I think the mount changed. Need more info about your older camera. Sorry, that's the best I can do.

No, this adapter will not work. This adapter is meant for the older Minolta MC and MD mount. You need to get a Minolta AF to Sony adapter.

Yes, the lens are A or Alpha lens. Your old Sony camera lens should fit fine.

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.

I wasn't familar with the Max 7000 camera so I did some research and found out that the MAXXUM uses the same "A" mount which was introduced today as Sony's Alpha mount. You can find additional information at : http://www.kenrockwell.com/minolta/maxxum/7000.htm. I own the minolta 50mm f1.f AF Lens and use it on my Sony Alpha 77 and love it. I have taken great pictures with it.

Put this in a google search minolta lens compatible a65 sonyI see lots of people into different lenses but when they take pics from the very same place at the same time with different lenses.. I can not tell the difference :)I have 18-55 and 18-135 sony lenses.. I can't imagine what another lens would do for me.. but If you want a cool wide angle pic, use panoramic. the method where the camera is used verticalAs for lenses I learned my lesson last summer.. I scratched a lens just before a wedding.. had a removable lens cap but..

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.

Does the lens originally fit on a Minolta film camera? The adapters are for the Minolta MD or MC lens or equivalent. I have several that aren't Minolta brand that work just fine. I'm thinking your lens is not a Minolta MC or MD mount. Google lens type and name and images of the back of the lens and see if you can find a match. Here is a link that might help you. http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-99.html. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

I purchased this camera with the intention of using a collection of Minolta lenses I collected years ago in conjunction with a Minolta Alpha 9000 film camera I was using. The SLT-A99V works great with these lenses. The auto focus works faster with this body and especially important is the fact that the stabilization system is contained within the body and not the lens so you get the benefit of that capability. I have since purchased additional used Minolta lenses on eBay and have been pleased with the results. I cannot justify the expense of the new Sony or Carl Zeiss lenses and have not tried them.

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.
