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!

Don’t expect to get a lot out of it. Unless it’s really old and collectible (which is doubtful), it has very little value.
Search through eBay for cameras that are a similar age and model number to get an idea of what it’s worth and how they are selling. Then use one of those ads as a model for your own ad.
eBay is usually the best because a wider audience stands the best chance of bidding the price up as much as possible. But don’t get your hopes up too high.
And if it’s not worth the trouble of listing, you can always donate it to your local Salvation Army or Goodwill store. They’ll appreciate it. And the tax write-off may be worth more than what you could get by selling it.
Good luck.
