Adapting Minolta lens to Sony E-mount is A-Okay
Shooting on a mirrorless camera is now a doorway to using vintage lenses, particularly with this MC/MD Minolta adapter from K&F Concept. As soon as it arrived I set out for a photo walk to capture the snowy scenes we still have as winter wanes. Manual lens adapters must do one thing well: create a connection that in no way hinders the capability of the manual lens to which a modern (mirrorless) camera can utilize. It must not allow stray light into the path from the lens to the sensor. From shooting in bright sun that is amplified by snow, I saw no evidence of such intrusion. Moreover, the lens snaps on with the same secure feeling as if it was attached to its native film camera (in this case, a Minolta X-370). The lens is easily removed, but no play while in use. The adapter itself feels VERY solid. It has the feeling of precision. I am pleased with the results, especially given the low-cost path to accessing vintage Minolta lenses...now to hit thrift stores in search of more MC/MD lenses!
