Adapting basics#
A lens can be adapted with simple tube spacers when its flange distance is longer than the camera's. With 44.50 mm, Sony / Minolta A-mount lenses can in principle go on bodies with shorter flanges such as Canon FD, Canon FL, Start, Konica AR, Konica F-mount, Four Thirds. Bodies with this mount can take lenses from longer-flange systems such as Deckel (DKL), Braun Paxette Reflex DKL-mount, Voigtländer Vitessa T DKL-mount, Yashica MA-mount, Olympus OM, Nikon F, Leica R, KMZ Zenit DKL-mount.
