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).


There are at least four such adapters. One Sigma, one no-name, and two from
Minolta (for long and short lenses). The Minoltas are 2x, the Sigma is 1.6x
IIRC. The no-name adapter gives a slight tele effect but nothing to write
home about. It is readily available at B&H. Do note that metering will be
screwed up on all cameras except the original AF series -- it varies from
lens to lens and can't be compensated in any sane way. If you shoot
negative film you may never notice it, slides is a giveaway however.
