[SCOTFORTHLAD]

Are there any digital cameras with which I could use my three Minolta MD manual focus lenses.Apologies if this is the is the wrong place to post the query,but I am not at all up to speed on Digital alternatives so looked for a possible source of info' from the specialists.

Thanks in anticipation,

Any digital camera with appropriate adapter.
For example, Sony NEX.

Optical adapter only. Without glass in adapter you will use MD lens only for macro. I have several and use them on EOS for close up.

I use MD lenses on NEX, on Canon, etc, and I dont even own optical adaptor.

All of the mirorless cameras will work well with an adaptor: Sony NEX, Samsung NX, Olympus/Panasonic Pen/Micro 4/3, Ricoh GXR. Slightly older models of the above are very reasonably priced and image quality is excellent.

Older Olympus 4/3 cameras work with slight modifications.

My personal favourite bang-for-the-buck is the Samsung NX10: a mini SLR shape with nice eye level EVF as well as rear screen. they usually sell for around £100 body only.

Canon EOS digital SLRs should have limited focusing ability with MD lenses due to the longer registration distance companred to Minolta film SLRs.
