Do the lenses that went with the Minolta xd7 slr fit any of the dslr cameras?
No, they do not. The Minolta XD-7, up to the X-700 takes the Minolta MD-type lenses. There are no digital slr cameras that will take an MD-mount lens. Only a camera hacker would be able to make an adapter out of spare parts in order to fit a specific dslr, and even then, the labor costs alone would be tremendous.
Do Maxxum 7000 lenses fit other cameras?
Yes. The Minolta Maxxum 7000 uses the Minolta AF mount; lenses for the camera should fit any Minolta auto-focus SLR ever made, as well as Sony's α digital SLRs (A100, A700, A200, and friends). These comments only apply to genuine Minolta lenses; non-Minolta lenses for this camera (such as some Sigma lenses) may have issues working on later cameras, such as the DSLRs mentioned above.
Does any dslr use minolta autofocus lens?
Yes, the SONY ALPHA series of DSLRs have the MINOLTA mount. When Sony took over the Minolta business line, they continued the proprietary MINOLTA lens mount and the Minolta flash shoe, which are unique- that is, ONLY A MINOLTA OR SONY LENS OR FLASH WILL FIT A SONY ALPHA camera. There might be some drawbacks, however. Depending on the focal length, year of production, number of electronic contacts, and type of Minolta AF lens (check the number of gold contacts on the side of the lens that goes into the camera), some of the lenses that have more that five (5) contacts might not work perfectly with the SONY Alpha camera. This is because most of the MINOLTA lenses with 7 or more contacts are POWER ZOOMS- that is, they zoom in and out if you twist the lens grip/ body under power from the camera. SONY has NOT continued this technology, and so the POWER ZOOM MINOLTA LENS will definitely not zoom in and out if mounted on a SONY ALPHA camera body. In its final years of production before the SONY takeover, MINOLTA made so many lenses with so many technological features (such as the POWER ZOOM) built into the lenses themselves. But don't worry...the best thing about having good old MINOLTA AF lenses is that they WILL fit a SONY ALPHA DLSR body. It's up to you to play with the combination of lenses and camera bodies to see what ANTIQUE (Minolta lens) you can still use with a SUPER NEW (Sony Alpha) camera. That's where most of the fun of photography is.
Can you use your minolta lenses with any camera?
No, Minolta MC and MD lenses (SR-mount) will only fit on the older non-AF cameras, Minolta AF mount lenses will only fit on the Maxxum/Dynax AF cameras and some Sony SLRs (Konica-Minolta sold its camera business to Sony in 2006 and Sony has developed cameras that use the AF-mount). If you put a Minolta lens on a camera that does not have the corresponding mount you could end up with a very expensive repair bill - or an interesting paperweight ;)

How are the picture qualities for a Sony dslr camera?
The picture quality on the sony dslr camera is top rated. With interchangeable lenses and several accessories available, you can choose the best equipment to handle any given conditions.
Will Canon lenses fit Sony?
The short answer is: No. Sony DSLRs take Minolta or the new Sony (Carl Zeiss) lenses. You may try your luck in the adapters fields. I'm not sure if there are any for the particular case.
Do the lenses that went with the Hasselblad 500C camera fit any of the DSLR cameras of today?
You can either put an adapter on the Hasselblad H-series bodies to accept the Hasselblad CF lenses, or put a digital back on the Hasselblad C-series body.
Can a minolta slr lens be used with a Nikon or canon digital slr?
Yes. The Pentax SLR lens K-mount will fit the Pentax Digital SLR [DSLR] and the Samsung DSLR. Two warnings: (1) you will lose the electronic linkages for some of the automatic functions; (2) the effective focal length of the lens will change. Most current DSLRs have an image sensor that is only about 2/3 the size of a 35mm film frame. Consequently, DSLRs will multiply the focal length of a traditional SLR lens by approximately 1.5: a 50mm SLR lens put on a DSLR will produce an image close to that of a 75mm lens; a 200mm telephoto lens will function as a 300mm lens. At the lower end of the focal lengths, a wide angle SLR lens, such as a 24mm, if attached to a DSLR, would lose its extreme wide angle advantage and function as a 36mm lens. In brief, long lenses will reach further out, but wide angle lenses will lose part of their ability to capture a full scene. Kodak and Canon have announced "full frame" DSLRs: digital cameras that have a sensor the same size as a standard 35mm frame. On such cameras, the SLR lens will retain its effective focal length regardless of whether it's used on an SLR or a DSLR. Neither Pentax nor Samsung has announced such plans for K-mount owners. In any event, the new full-frame Kodak and Canon full-frame DSLRs may be out of an amateur's reach, for they have an announced price of about $8000.
I am wondering if a MINOLTA MAXXUM 7000 auto focus (AF) lens will work on a digital Minolta And what Minolta's aredigital that are compatible Thanks fir your assistance. E. P. Fabricius jeepman47@hotmail.com ?
Yes, the Minolta Maxxum 7000 lens will work with a digital Minolta camera. Any digital Minolta SLR with interchangeable lens capabilities will work with a Minolta lens.
Will the Miranda sensorex lenses work with any digital camera?
No, not at infinity. There is no known adapter made for any of the major DSLR's and I doubt anyone is interested in marketing one with optics. Optical adapters usually sell over $100, which is more than the majority of Miranda lenses are worth. Rick LI, NY
Can you use a Miranda 24mm slr lens on a dslr camera and which one?
Possibly, it depends on the kind of mount. Miranda made (or possibly still make?) lenses for various cameras so if it was built for a nikon for example it should fit a modern nikon. I think this is the same for most makes of camera. I think also that sony cameras use the old minolta mount. As for finding out which kind of mount you have, I would take a picture and post it on a photography forum, someone will probably be able to identify it for you or just try it on any dslr you have access to. Remember that if you do fit the lens on a digital camera, you will only be able to use it manually.
