A friend asked me if she could use her old Konica Hexanon lenses on her Sony Alpha 900. Anyone have any idea? I know nothing of Konica, Minolta nor Sony. _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |

The only cam to use Hex lenses (with infinity) are 4/3 cams. Maybe it could
be used on the Sony, but no infinity focus. Pity, such great glass. |

Konica has 40,5mm register distance one of the shortest from all SLR. Best idea to use them these days on micro 4/3 and Konica film cameras. _________________ -------------------------------

You can use Konica lenses without conversion on µ4/3 cameras. I use a Hexanon 40/1.8 on my Panasonic and love it.

As I suggested before this is the perfect solution, they are Japanese "Zeiss". I will follow you soon when I have enough money to purchase a Panasonic G-1. _________________ -------------------------------

I've used Konica Hexanon lenses on both 4/3 and micro 4/3, but it is most convenient on micro 4/3.
A "conversion" for 4/3 is not much of a conversion at all. All you need to do is make a spacer (or buy off ebay for about $6 + postage. Search for "Adapter Konica Olympus 4/3", but I couldn't see one on ebay today. Make sure you don't buy the micro 4/3 by mistake.) , and remove the aperture arm. The lens then mounts DIRECTLY onto the 4/3 camera. |

I am afraid most lens cannot be adapted to Minolta/Sony A mount with just an adapter. If your friend wish to use manual lens on A900, she ought to seek among the M42 lenses. _________________

Blah. That sucks. I was really looking into the Sony for MF lenses. Since it's a fullformat stabilized body. Oh well. Can't get it all I guess.
Thanks for all help, the lady with the A900 wanted me to forward. _________________ My homepage, all manual shots |

You can say that again. I am a A700 user and am trying to find alternative lens for my Minolta/Sony camera.
For specific Sony/Minolta questions, perhaps you can point your friend to www.dyxum.com. _________________
