There is an adapter made my minolta that allows you to put your MD lenses
on AF bodies. However, it doubles the focal length. A quick search on ebay
show several of these adapters. Search for "MD Maxxum"

I was just wondering. Did/does anyone make a converter of some kind
to allow the use of Minolta Manual lenses on Minolta Autofocus Cameras?
(Yes I know it would be in manual mode only).
I know I've seen converters advertised on Ebay to allow the use of one
kind of manual focus lens on other brands of cameras (don't remember which
one).
Just wondering if were possible to take that to a different level.
I have both a Minolta XG-7 and X-700 with a bunch of lenses.
If there were a converter to let me use them with their
Autofocus cameras I might make a gradual crossover.
