thanks for your sharing.  I have a mid-60's Minolta SLR 101, with many lenses. can I buy a digital camera body-Sony- and use these lenses?  If so which adaptor to get?    Thank you  Bill

Read the green box at http://www.geocities.com/peterblaise/minoltamf - basically the manual lenses are "converted/cropped/magnified" 1.53x for digital PLUS 1.1x to 2x for a teleconverter to adapt them to the camera, so a 50mm lens becomes cropped to 85mm effective at the least and 153mm effective at the worst.  And they are manual stop-down aperture for metering (dark through the viewfinder with no focus circle liek on the manual cameras).  But they CAN work.  Let us know how it goes.
