Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this adapter has aperture control dial in order to use it with auto focus Minolta lenses?

A: This adapter does not control the lens in any way. Aperture would be controlled on the lens. Minolta MD lenses were not Auto Focus lenses.

Q: 2. will the adapter for minolta MD-Mount lens to Nikon F Mount Camera work will with Nikon 7000 on a sigma 600mm lens

A: If your Sigma 600mm lens is an MD mount, it can work well on a D7000, using this adapter. You will be able to focus manually, and the focal length will be multiplied by 1.4x. This may prove useful if you need the extra telephoto range. You will have to use stop-down mode in order to take advantage of in-camera metering.

Q: 3. Will this adapter allow me to use a manual focus and exposure 42.7mm screw mount lens on my old Minolta 35mm SRT-201 camera?

A: The Bower T-Mount Lens to Minolta MD Mount Camera Adapter is only compatible with lenses have a T-mount fitting; a screw-mount lens will not be compatible.

Q: 4. will this work on a nikon d5100 please?

A: It works on my Nikon D300 which should be the same mount on your camera. However you will have to focus manually and adjust aperture on your lens as this this adapter does not have any electrical contacts to operate the lens. You also will not get all the exposure metadata you would get with an electronically connected lens.

Q: 5. Can i use this adapter to connect my collection of MD Rokkor lenses to my Nikon F?

A: Yes

Q: 6. 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: 7. With the 1.4 X correction, does this mean than a Minolta MD 85mm lens becomes a 119mm (85X1.4=119) on an FX body and a 178.5mm lens on a DX body (85X1.4=119X1.5=178.5)?

A: Yes, you are correct. Your 85mm lens will be multiplied by 1.4x on an FX sensor. On a DX sensor, it will be 85mm by 1.4x, multiplied by another 1.5x. This is due to the necessary adjustment for infinity focus compatibility.

Q: 8. Will this work on a d3500?

A: Yes it will on manual focus and shutter speed and aperture

Q: 9. Will this adaptor work for both Nikon D200 as well as D780?

A: Yes, it is compatible with both cameras.

Q: 10. Will this adapter fit the Nikon D90?

A: MY MINOLTA 50mm lens is 48 years old and with the adapter it now fits my DSLR Nikon D3400. I do have to manually set aperture and shutter for this lens. I don't find that a chore since I'm doing that with my D3400.
