Give old lenses new life

I have several old Minolta MD mount lenses and bought a Fotodiox MD -EFS mount as I was ready to buy a Canon 80D. I changed my mind and bought a used EM1 body and bought a Fotodiox MD-M43 adaptor. The EM1 allows use of my Oly E500 4/3 lenses with an Oly MMf-3 adaptor. The Fotodiox adaptor MD-M43 works great and feels like going back to the 70's with manual focus which I learned on. Now I can use all my old Minolta mount lenses. Even the old cheap (Kmart Focal 80-200 etc) lenses look pretty good although a little soft wide open. I wish I could attach a pic of a newborn fawn on my lawn taken last week at 200mm (400 with 2x crop factor). My nephew has a Canon 70D so I gave him the MD-EFS adaptor and a Minolta MD 50mm 1.4 to try video with. It also worked great here in my living room. He will have to get used to pulling focus manually but most of the time I prefer that. Sports or fast action would be tough at low aperture settings. I can't afford a batch of new lenses so the Fotodiox has gotten me back into photography.

Fotodiox on my lumix gx9 adapting Minolta md lenses

By BRYAN T.

Because your legacy lenses are invaluable, the Fotodiox 'Pro' Series Mount Adapter is meticulously designed to breathe new life into your cherished Minolta MD/MC lenses by seamlessly integrating them with your modern Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera. This adapter is not only a bridge between camera and lens; it is a testament to the enduring power of photography, allowing you to preserve the investment in your prime lenses without the need for costly replacements.

Crafted with precision engineering, the Fotodiox 'Pro' Series Mount Adapter upholds the highest standards of quality, ensuring a perfect, secure fit between your lens and camera. The robust construction features leaf springs that mimic the camera body's mechanics, eliminating any unwanted play and maintaining a solid, reliable connection that stands up to the demands of professional use.

The adapter's sleek, professional appearance complements your equipment, while its compact and lightweight design makes it an ideal choice for photographers on the move. Despite its simplicity, the adapter is incredibly versatile, supporting a wide range of Minolta MD/MC lenses and offering guaranteed infinity focusing, a critical feature for photographers aiming to capture sharp, stunning images across all distances.

Please note that while this adapter enables manual photography with your Minolta lenses on Micro Four Thirds cameras, it does not support electronic communication between the lens and camera. As a result, automatic diaphragm, auto-focusing, and other automated functions will not operate. You will need to use the "stop-down mode" for metering, as the lens's aperture cannot be controlled by the camera body. This manual approach to photography may rekindle the joy of crafting images as it was done in the past, offering a hands-on experience that can be both challenging and rewarding.

Whether you're a seasoned photographer with a collection of Minolta glass or a newcomer eager to explore the capabilities of vintage lenses, the Fotodiox 'Pro' Series Mount Adapter is a high-quality, durable, and user-friendly choice that expands your creative potential and honors the legacy of Minolta's optical excellence.
