Old Minolta (1970's) lenses & compatibility with Sony alpha a camera

[nursemac10]

Will the 1970's Minolta lens work with my Sony alpha a 100 camera?  I have been offered these lenses (zoom) and would like to take them if they would work. I understand they would be manual focus.  But before I take 3 or 4 lenses I want to be sure I can make use of them  Any advise??

Thanks.  Marge

Hi Marge,

Welcome to the community.

Unfortunately, since these are not Sony lenses and are older I don't have any definitive advice for you. Maybe you could check what mounts they have, test them or get some old manuals from Minolta to see what the full specifications are. Perhaps some other members will have some tips to share. 

Best wishes,
