Minolta SRT 101 and Nikon N50 film camera LENSES
Oct 29, 2014 04:29:02 #
Hi, I have some old film cameras and several lenses: three for the SRT and one for the Nikon N50. Would any digital Nikon (or other cameras) be compatible with them?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The Nikon lens will fit although it will only auto focus on those cameras that have a drive in them, dunno about the Minolta.

The Nikon mount lens will fit on a Nikon DSLR, metering and focus would depend on which model camera. It would be impractical to fit the Minolta lenses to Nikon due to their shorter flange-to-focal plane distance.

With adaptors you can use them on m4/3 cameras. If you go with olympus you get stabilization built-in the body and therefore your lenses will be stabilized as well.
Which Minolta lenses? Rokkors?

Eeeek, not ready (HUGE learning curve wise ;), and piggy bank option) to get a dSLR. And yeah, I'm not looking for much by way of the lenses. 1. Not sre I'd want to carry them around most of the time, 2. They are older models - my dad's camera from the 80s, 3. Still trying to figure out which camera I want to invest in. Thought maybe I'd be able to use something from the vintage collection. :D

If going with one of your lenses, you may find it in this list with some image examples of what to expect.

First one is a Minolta Rokkor-x 28mm f2.8, which is a decent lens (if you can manual focus). The following are examples from it mounted on a m4/3 camera.

The second one is a 135mm f2.8...but I can't seem to find a whole lot on.
The third one sounds like there is a filter on the lens. Can you remove it and then read the front of the lens?
The fourth one (nikon) doesn't really sound all that special. A kit lens with autofocus would probably suit you better.
Out of the ones you listed, the 28mm 2.8 would be a good one to play around with (and potentially the Miida lens too).

Just to clarify TucsonCoyote (because it seems the more I learn the more I forget!!) You're saying the nikon lens will fit any 'dslr' cameras? If those cameras have an internal hd?

Hmmm, ok Cdouthitt - I understand about the lenses. There was a lens filter? on the 3rd one... MD 50mm 1:1.7 No specific name, other than Minolta.
The 4/3 site with the pics was great! Thanks. They look just like my dad's old pics :D However, I'm still a little confused about the 4/3 cameras/adapters themselves. Will a camera specifically state whether it is a 4/3 camera? is the '4/3' only an adapter specification. I saw some Olympus/Panasonic 4/3s and they are out of my $300-$400 price range :(
So let's say I'm looking into a Nikon D3200, CoolPix P600 or Canon Powershot SX50 - these cameras would need an adapter? Would they just fit right on?
