Using vintage MC MD lenses on your Sony or MAXXUM SLR or DSLR. Includes using the adapter and how to use in manual mode. Applies to all MAXXUM 35mm cameras plus Sony a100 a200 a230 a300 a330 a500 a550 a850 a900

I made a mistake... Minolta manufactured 30,000 lenses a month and not a day in its hay day!

The video was superbly helpful. I purchased a brilliant Carl zeis lens, was about to give it away and thought I'd see if there were any demo's on 'youtube' The camera stated 'no lens' I now use the lens due to your vid. The images are brilliant. Thank you.

Thank you! I am really glad it helped!

Hey - I worked in London for 5 years at the American Embassy there and was treated incredibly well by the British people... I am glad I could help one of you guys!

Also I collect old british sports cars... Right now I just finished a chrome bumper MGB...

Best,

Joe
