Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Neewer Lens Mount Adapter: Connect Minolta MD MC Lens to Sony NEX E-Mount Camera A7, A6000, and More! by David Estevez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So much fun at this price

At this price this adapter is a lot of fun. It is well milled and fits well. I wouldn't say it's too tight like other reviews, but I need a comfortable fit, which is what I want in my lens thread/mount. Be careful, first attach the adapter to the lens, then attach the new lens mount (with adapter) to the Nex. This seems to be the most important piece of advice. Otherwise works great, right price, nice matte black finish, looks like it will last indefinitely. It adds 27-28mm to the focal length because it's basically an extension that moves the lens' focusing elements farther from the focal plane (CMOS in the camera). The sharpness/quality/bokeh of the image is great, the enlargement doesn't affect it, you just get a smaller crop. So your old MD 50s will become almost 80s and your 28mm will become 56mm. On the other hand, my Macro 28-85 has become a brilliant beast with extra extension. Good times. Your MC 58mm can easily be turned into the famous 85mm of the same generation and you don't have to spend $400 for a real 85mm. I don't know, just saying. Money well invested here. Rejoice Legacy Minolta lovers! Thank you health!
