Question: Can I buy an adapter to make old Sigma lens work with a digital camera!?
Here's what happened!.!.!.at a yard sale I scored a number of great Sigma lens and an old Minolta XTsi 35mm let me tell you 6 lens plus a camera isn't a bad deal for $20 bucks!. while I plan to put the old Minolta to good use I'd like to try the lens out on other cameras as well!.!.!.

so my question is does anyone make an adapter/remount so I can use these great lens on a more modern digital camera like a Canon or Nikon!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The only camera that might use those lenses would be the Sony DSLR!. Sony bought Minolta when they sold their camera division a few years ago!.

Take the lenses into a camera store and see what features will not work on the Sony!. Since the XTsi is an autofocus camera, the lenses should work well with the Sony!.

There are NO adapters that will allow you to use them on Nikon or Canon cameras as auto-focus lenses!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you want to use your Sigma lenses you'll have to buy a Sony A200/300/350/700 DSLR!. Since Sony thoughtfully included its version of Image Stabilization in the camera body your Sima lenses will enjoy that benefit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are no adapters that will allow you to use them on a Canon or Nikon!.
