Can any one tell me if i can fit [obviously with an adaptor] my Minolta Rokkor MD manual focus lenses to my new A37. Also adaptor cost and any other info on this combination and how to use would be greatfully recieved.

Thanks.

Yes you can, although you loose infinity focus because of the flange distance and all adapters I've seen use a piece of glass. This will probably do no good to the image quality.

It's a shame. I have a Rokkor 50 f/1.7 which I really love, but can't use

Thanks Mark

I have some very good high end Rokkor lenses such as the MD 50-mm F/1.4, MD Rokkor X 45-mm F/2, An early MD Rokkor 50-mm F/1.7, A MD Rokkor 135-mm F/2.8, several Rokkor wide angles and a Rokkor 35-70 macro zoom. Its a pity I cannot get infinity with these on the Sony cameras.
Thanks

You can get infinity on all of these with a Sony NEX and an MD-NEX adapter. But not on an alpha-mount unless you use an adapter with a glass lens, which is the weak link in the chain.

Great time to pick up an older model NEX as a second body while the new models are being introduced. There'll be good deals to be had on the 5N.
