Using Old Lenses

[captken]

I just bought a new Sony Alpha A100K DSLR. I thought I could mount my old Minolta lenses on it. No can do. Does Sony or anyone sell an adapter so I can use them? Better yet...is it worth it? Should I just see if I can get a few bucks for them and start over with lenses made for this DSLR?

Minolta AF lenses (A-mount) are all over the place on ebay (<- click here), so you can get them pretty cheap.

If you start buying into new SONY-glass, right off the bat, you'll rapidly defeat your monetary advantage/levelage of Minolta-made glass.

Also, there are a number of lenses available through "third-party" (TAMRON, SIGMA, Tokina - made for the Minolta-mount) that are also quite useful on the SONY A100.

Give it a look-see ... before you give up

You can use manual focus MC/MD lenses on the Maxxum and the Alpha.
