Zoom Lens Minolta
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
I have a Minolta Maxxum 5000i 35mm SLR camera. I'm trying to find the right zoom lens, but...?
I'd like to buy a zoom lens. If it says that the lens will fit any Minolta camera, am I good to go? Or do I need to buy a ring or mount or something to attatch it? If so, where can I find those?
Thank you to all the people answering these questions for me. Photography has become a new passion to me and I'm still pretty clueless about a lot of things...
You need to remember that there are 2 different Minolta lens mounts - MC/MD and the A-mount.
The MC/MD mount lenses are manual focus and were for Minolta cameras like the SRT-202, XG-9, XE-7, X-700, etc.
When Minolta introduced the Maxxum 7000 Auto Focus camera in 1985 they changed to the A-mount. The older MC/MD mount lenses will not mount to your Maxxum 5000i. There is an adapter to allow using the older lenses on your camera.
So, as you can see, a seller who states that their lens will "fit any Minolta camera" doesn't know what they are talking about.
