A buddy of mine gave me his entire Minolta film camera setup including a number of MD lenses (200mm, 100mm, 50mm, 35mm, 24mm). However, for street photography, I enjoying using my trusty 50-year old M4 instead. Does anyone know of a rangefinder-coupled adapter that I might buy to use these Rokkor lenses on the M4? Now, I do have an adapter and it works just fine on the 35 & 24mm when I can easily zone focus. However, it's not rangefinder coupled - which would be nice when using the 100mm and 200mm..

The Minolta is close enough to the Leica Focal length- what you need as an RF Cam. I hacked one, a ring epoxied to the rear of the $40 lens.
Companies such as Skyllaney will do conversions, is not cheap.
The Minolta is sharp across the center 2/3 of the image, and is great on the M8.
