I recently bought a Sony 6000 kit that included a 16-50 and a 55-210 lens. I am recently retired and have been interested in photography for many years. In the future I will be asking a lot of stupid questions, but I believe a person is never too old to learn and the UHH members are very knowlegable. I have been reading the UHH for about a month and bought the Sony 6000 based on reviews there. I have an older film camera. It is a Minolta maxxum 7000. Does it have any value. It is in very good condition. I bought a AF 28-85 lens with it, that I would like to get an adapter for so I can use it on my Sony E mount. Is that reasonable? Thanks for any and all advice.

Welcome to our forum!
I recently bought the same combination, and I'm slowly learning it. Gary Fong has a video course for $29.95, and I also got the book by David Busch.

I too have the Sony a6000. The best and most used reference I have is the ebook by Gary Friedman. I have yet to read anyone being disappointed and you can get a trial version for 2 weeks.

Also I bought $29.00 adaptor and are now really enjoying all my old Takamar lenses from my film days with a Pentax Spotmatic II. If you get around to using postproduction software. Try Capture One for Sony. awesome.
Glad to see you joined our happy crew. Feel free to ask. I have always been happy with the replies and there are very few rants as you see on other sites.
