I have a Minolta XG-7 and I was wondering if Minolta made a Digital Camera that I could use my lens on? |
I would like to use my different lens on a Digital Camera to get the good pictures I get with my old XG-7 No, and they're not going to. The new Sony DSLR uses minolta lenses. Found this out three months after I sold my lens at a garage sale. The short answer is 'yes', you can buy a MD/MC to Maxxum converter (approx $100) and use it on a Sony A100, Maxxum 5D, or Maxxum 7D DSLR. No. Minolta, like the Canon, change their lens mount when they went to autofocus. The Minolta XG-7 is a manual focus 35mm film SLR. The lenses that you have for this camera won't work on any Digital SLR camera for all intents and purposes. Althought there are convertors, you'll get unsatisfactory results using them. Minolta is NOT anymore in camera (35mm or digital) business. They are ...history ... ;-( |
