I haven't been on this forum for a while. It's great to see that it's still
going strong.
Recently I've been ogling the new lenses being offered by Bower,
Pro optic, Rokinon, and Samyang. (I *think* that they're all identical,
but for all I know, they may have different quality coatings or
mechanics or something. Anyone else know about that?) In
particular, I'd love to put the 14 mm f 2.8 lens on my Minolta SRT
102.
I also use the canon EOS system. I know you cannot put a Minolta
MD lens on a Canon EOS camera because the register
distances are incompatible. But theoretically that should mean that
you should be able to put a Canon lens on a Minolta MD/MC
camera, assuming you had the correct mechanical adapter and a
way to change the aperture.
So do any of you know if such a mechanical adapter exists to put a
B, P, R, or S lens with a Canon EF mount onto my beloved SRT 102?
Those companies also make most of their lenses in Nikon, Pentax
K, Olympus 4/3rds and Sony/Minolta AF mounts. Are any of those
adaptable to Minolta MC/MD? My first choice among those is
Nikon, because it is also adaptable to Canon EOS.
Thanks!
