Some very nice picture here. Not intending to hijack this thread, but I was wondering if Rokkor lenses can be used on the Alpha cameras. I'm using some of my Rokkors on a olympus EP-3 mirrorless camera, but the crop factor is driving me nuts WRT trying to go wide.

Hi Zathros -
The MC/MD mount of manual-focus Rokkors is a completely different mount from the later auto-focus (Maxxum/Dynax/Alpha) Minolta lenses. I'm not even aware of any adapter to use the older manual-focus lenses on the later auto-focus cameras. If there ever was such an adapter, it wasn't popular enough to warrant much discussion.

There are many MD to MA adapters available to allow use of older Minolta manual focus lenses on the later Minolta and Sony A-mount cameras. Get one with glass or you cannot focus to infinity. They run in the $20 range on ebay. There are also adapters for use of Minolta manual focus lenses on Sony E mount cameras.

Thanks for the answers guys. I'll check out the e-mount bodies. The crop factor for the APS-C sensor is more workable for my needs than Micro 4/3.
