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,
Cheers,
Brian.
 
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.
 
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.

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

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