Ok, I have my hands on a maxxum 50 and a 70-210MM lens by Vivitar. Does anybody know if there is a mount adapter that might allow these two to be partners?

Thanks

The camera should be a minolta autofocus mount and the lens if it is the older version of the minolta series would be an MC/MD. You can do a search for Haoda Fu and he has some adapters that might meet your needs but it will need to be shot in full manual. If it is a different mount he might have those as well. I have on to use my old minolta lenses and it works pretty well with little image degradation.

That does look like what I need, I've been looking for pictures of adapters to make sure they'd fit and haven't had luck until now. Thanks, it's much appreciated.
