Will old Sigma lens for Minolta Maxxum 35mm camera fit any good digital cameras?
I have a Sigma auto-focus camera lens that had been used on a Minolta Maxxum 5000 SLR camera. The camera is now gone, but the lens remains. It is a 70mm - 210mm zoom lens with an F4 - F5.6 aperture. I don't want to go back to film, but that lens worked great. Are there any digital camera that it will fit?
The lens will physically mount on a new Sony DSLR, but that doesn't mean it will work. I have an old Sigma 35-135 metal monster that is a great lens, but it won't work on my Sony DSLR. However, it works just fine on my Maxxum 7000. Very good walk-around on that camera. Older Minolta lenses work as advertised on the Sony, but not all the off-brand stuff from the Maxxum days will.
I wouldn't base my camera purchase decision on that lens... not worth it. You can pick up a Minolta 70-210 F/4 constant aperture lens for about $200 or so, which will be a much better lens to begin with if you decide to go with Sony.
