Lens Ring?

[tory]

My frind has an olympus SLR (Model escapes me) anyways he has bought an adapter ring thing that allows him to use Pentax or Canon i think it is lenses on it!

Any idea if there is one to fit Sony to allow the same thing and where i can source one from?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Tory,

The only adapters for Sony / Minolta that I've seen are for M42 lenses and old Minolta MF lenses, but the latter one has a glass insert which degrades the image. Some Minolta MF lenses can be adapted for the AF mount and I've got a 58mm f1.2 like that.

There is a huge selection of M42 lenses available and this guy sells chipped adapters that give a focus confirm signal:

With the Sony A900 you are getting you would be limited to fully manual operation with these lenses.

Hope that helps,

Andy
