Adaptor for 500 series lens to Minolta/Sony A-mount

[alanbrowne]

<p>I see a few of these around the net for about $60 - $70 and as I have three 'blad lenses I'm tempted to try one. I don't care about AF or metering as I spot or incident meter with an L-558 for the 'blad in any case. I can also preview meter with the a900.<br>

Has anyone got first hand experience with these adaptors for H'blad lens -> Minolta/Sony?<br>

I'll be using a 80mm, 120 Makro and 150mm and the cameras would be the Maxxum 9 and a900.<br>

I assume the lens shutter is simply not used and just left cranked open?<br>

Thanks,<br /> Alan</p>
