Can you use normal lenses SLR With A digital camera?
I have a Minolta Maxxum SLR film. I Would like to upgrade to digital, but i have some great lenses That It Would be a shame not to be Able to use any more. If I buy a Sony digital SLR body can I use normal lenses With It? Thanks. Just to Clarify Explain as I did not too well, Minolta Such as do not produce anymore, and it is now Sony They are compatible.
Minolta Maxxum When Introduced the 7000 Auto Focus camera in 1985 They changed Their lens mount. That mount, the A-mount, Remains in use today on all current Sony DSLR cameras – A100/200/300/350/700. The lenses you've on your Minolta Dynax Used Will work just fine on a Sony DSLR. Advantage One you'll gain is this: since the image circle for a 35mm film camera is much larger Than the sensor on the A300, you'll only be using, in effect, the "sweet spot" of the lens.
