Digital camera body & Minolta mounts

[Moonraker]

Greetings,

Is there either a digital camera or adapters to us my SRT-101, Minolta mount lenses?

If not, does anyone understand why no one has a design to accomodate the bazilllion or more Minolta mount Lenses?

Betamax?

Technical excellence doesn't equate to better sales.


Best bet may be

- the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras

Can I get a digital back for an Argus Brick?

There are a bunch of adapters on eBay that do this. Some are better than others. They tend to run $50 and up, depending on your mount, and what you want them to do.

Because the new glass is generally lighter, faster and better, and has a ton of features the old stuff doesn't. It's nice if you have a few old lenses you're really fond of, but there's really not a whole lot of point of having a nice 7D if you're not going to take advantage of all the great stuff it does by saddling it with ancient glass.
