What DSLR cameras are backwards compatible with Minolta SLR lenses?


What DSLR cameras are backwards compatible with Minolta SLR lenses?

Since Sony bought Konica-Minolta a few years back, I am sure most if not all auto-focus lenses should work.

You can use every Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985 on the Sony DSLR line of cameras. Minolta offered 4 lenses in the "DT" series for the Konica-Minolta D5 & D7 DSLR cameras but they are for the smaller sensor in those cameras. Personally I'd avoid them.

When you use the Maxxum lenses which were designed for the 35mm film frame on your Sony A200 you're only using the center section of the image circle - the "sweet spot" of the lens.

Sony absorbed Konica-Minoltas 2 years ago ,so you can choose from the OLD Alpha 100(this model is based on the konica-minolta dynax 5d and is quite unreliable) or the brand new sony designs the ALPHA 200 ,350,700 .

All of which are brand new and excellent and will work with the minolta af lenses ,the new carl zeiss one s made for sony are quite exceptionally good and a perfect compliment to the cameras
