Lens Adapter
Posted on Tuesday, March 1, 2011 in Photography
What lens adapter do I need for a Minolta Maxxum lens to go on an Olympus E-series body?
I have a Minolta Maxxum af 70-210mm lens and an Olympus e-420.
The e-420 has a 4/3 lens mount, and the lens is 1/4.
I'm not new to photography, but I don't know anything about adapters.
Thanks!
I found numerous Minolta "SR" mount lenses to Olympus 4/3 mount adapters but none to allow use of your fine 70-210mm Minolta Maxxum "A" mount lens to your 4/3 mount body.
NOTE: Many people mistakenly call the older manual focus Minolta lenses "MD" mount but that's incorrect. The "SR" mount was introduced in 1959 and used until the Maxxum AF "A" mount was introduced in 1985. When Minolta introduced Meter-Coupled lenses in 1966 they added MC to their lens designation - as in MC ROKKOR-X. The introduction of the Minolta X-700, with its Program Mode, in 1981 resulted in a new lens designation - MD, as in MD ROKKOR-X. MD was for Meter Dedicated and the minimum aperture (f16, f22, f32) was highlighted in bright green since you had to set the lens at that aperture for the Program Mode to work.
