-
Make the most of your existing collection of Minolta MD-mount lenses with this Minolta MD Lens to FUJIFILM X-Mount Camera Lens Adapter from Vello. This durable adapter will allow you these lenses to be mounted to a FUJIFILM X-mount camera. Precise construction makes it easy to attach an adapted lens to a camera body and keep it secure during use. Infinity focus is guaranteed, ensuring proper functionality when shooting at long distances.
The adapter is made from a durable zinc alloy for long life. Although the lens will fit physically, autofocus, automatic diaphragm (AE metering), and other functions dependent on communication between camera body and lens will be disrupted by the lens adapter. Focus and exposure will need to be set manually, or metered in aperture priority (stop-down) mode.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. I want to use my old Minolta SR mount lenses (28-135 Astron Zoom and Tamron 300mm Tele) on my new Nikon D7200. I know the Fotodiox adapter will do the trick but confused about the multiplication factors. I note that in one foram answer the it says that an 85mm lens becomes (equiv.) to 119mm due to 1.4x 85 but has to be multiplied again, ie 119 x 1.5 = 178.5mm when DX format is taken into account. Another answer says for a D7000 (which is DX) you only multiply the focal length by the 1.4x (on a 600mm in this case, becoming 840mm).I thought the 1.4x factor was for the difference between FX and DX. Would my 300mm become equivalent to 420mm, 450mm or 420 x 1.5 = 620? I was under the impression that on a full frame FX, the lens stays as same focal length and only multiplied when using on DX format as are the D7000 series.
A: Dont let all of this multiplication factor information confuse you. The 1.4 factor mentioned in the documentation is referring to the fact that it includes a lens in the adaptor to correct for the difference of the lens from the original Nikon Camera mount flange. That pertains to focus only and not crop factor. It is included to eliminate any focus issue so you dont have to worry about that. What you need to know is your Minalta mount lenses will only work in manual focus when used on your Nikon D7200 with this adaptor. You should still get focus confirmation in your viewfinder with this combination though. You will also want to configure the lenses individually in the Non-CPU setup menu for accurate metering. The 1.5 crop factor you have heard or read about is a separate concern than the mentioned 1.4 focus correction lens included in this adaptor as I discussed above. An FX (full frame) lens will have a 1.5 crop factor on a DX (APS-C cropped) sensor camera such as your Nikon D7200. I hope this helps.
Q: 2. Does this adapter incur a 1.4 crop factor like some others? I do realize that some light is lost. Thinking of using it on a Viltrox EF to EF-M focal reducer?
A: The crop factor would be camera-dependent. In the case of a Canon DSLR with an APS-C sensor, the crop factor would be 1.6X.
Q: 3. Will this also work with a Minolta Rokkor PF lens?
A: Technically the FotodioX Mount Adapter for Minolta SR/MD/MC-Mount Lens to Fujifilm X-Mount Camera should work with most Minolta Rokkor PF lenses, That lens series is MD. But the manufacture of the adapter does not list what specific lenses work with it.
Q: 4. Will this adapter also work with Minolta SR mount lenses (XG-1 body) ? Are SR and MD the same mount? TIA
A: Yes, the Vello Minolta MD Lens to Micro Four Thirds-Mount Camera Lens Adapter will also accept Minolta SR lenses. Minolta MD and SR have the same mount.
Q: 5. Does this also work on Minolta MC?
A: Yes this FotodioX Minolta MD Lens Adapter also works with Minolta MC.
Q: 6. Why am I unable to fire the shutter on a Fuji X-Pro2 with this adapter and a 50mm Minolta MC macro lens?
A: The camera doesn't recognize that the adapter is mounted as there are no electronic contacts. First, enable the "shoot without lens’ option in the menu under ‘BUTTON/DIAL SETTING’ sub-menu in the setup menu.
Q: 7. When using vintage lenses, is there some cropping going on ? Or does focal distance stays the same?
A: There will be a crop factor of 2x going from a 35mm SLR lens to a MFT digital sensor. All your lens will have an angle-of-view equivalent to double their focal length. For example, a 50mm lens will look approximately 100mm, a 35mm like a 70mm, etc.
Q: 8. Does this adapter support Minolta MC lenses also?
A: Yes, this Vello adapter can also support Minolta MC lenses.
Q: 9. Can the corrective glass element be easily removed for macro photography (and later replaced)?
A: The Vello Minolta MD Lens to Nikon F-Mount Camera Lens Adapter is not designed to allow removing the glass optic.
Q: 10. Will this adapter work on a Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro (Canon EF)?
A: This adapter will work on the BMPCC 6K Pro
