Q&A: Will a Minolta tele rokkor lens ;2,8 f=135mm fit the Minolta Maxxum cameras?
Question by : Will a Minolta tele rokkor lens ;2,8 f=135mm fit the Minolta Maxxum cameras?
I don’t have it in hand to see numbers on it. It is being given to me and I have a Minolta Maxxum HTi plus SLR, and am planning to get a digital Maxxum soon, so I’m wondering if this lens will fit them and don’t see info online that helps me. Anybody familiar or can find out?
Ask any questions I’ve not thought to answer here.
Thanks
Correction, the camera I have is an HTsi Plus.
Exactly! I LOVE the Minolta Maxxums! And thanks for the info, I guess I don’t need to take the lens.

Unfortunately, no. The mount for that lens is the Minolta MC mount and it is totally unsuitable for an A-Mount Maxxum camera. It will cause damage to one or both components if you try.
However, if you can get a hold of (the best lens ever made!) a Minolta 135mm STF, then that will fit both the HTsi and a digital Maxxum. Sony now make the same lens under their name.
If I may be so intrusive, why would you want a digital Maxxum? I own and adore two Maxxum 7D’s but they’re old-hat and can’t compete with Sony Alphas (or those from Canon, Nikon etc) any more. Unless you take the color rendition into account – in which case they blow them away.Or unless you take the superior controls layout in to account. Or unless you take….yeah, get one!

Q&A: What DSLR cameras should I compare/review?
Question by : What DSLR cameras should I compare/review?
I’m planning on buying a DSLR soon. I’ve read a lot of articles and tutorials online for a while now,but its time for me to have a hands-on experience while learning. But I want to make sure that I get a camera that I feel is right for me.
What kind of DSLR do you own? What lens?
I am currently looking at the Canon EOS T3i. Can you name a few cameras that I can compare reviews with?
Thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by ?VanGorkum?Photography?
Best way to know—go to an electronic store (like Best Buy) and try it out for yourself.
The T3i is a small beginner’s DSLR, and is too small for a person with larger hands like me. Or maybe you like the small size. It just depends on what you want, and what your budget can afford.
And as for lens, you should get the standard 18-55mm kit lens. What lens you get after that, depends on what you like to shoot. But I suggest a “nifty fifty” 50mm f/1.8 lens as a second lens, just to play with a prime lens and to help understand depth of field.
