Interesting...... Before I sent my two Minoltas off (ultimately to two grandsons), I tried a few rolls of film. My 50mm f/1.7 was tack sharp, whereas my 135mm f/3.5 was generally good, but not great. The best lens, however, was my Sigma 28mm f/2.8 Macro. I have all my Minolta gear back now and, if I decide to have them CLA'd, I'll run some film through them. Now they sit on my shelf awaiting a call from any of my grandchildren who need them in high school or college classes.


So strange. I remember both lenses were so sharp, but that was about 30 years ago. What I might do is take them to PhotoTech and have them take a look at them. Maybe they need cleaning or something.

Where would I find the tab?

Certainly sounds like the macro lens setting. I have an older Minolta 35-70mm f4 zoom and it has a macro setting. There is a tab to hold when going from regular to macro, or in the rerse direction. Without holding tab, you can't move from one to the other.

Don't know which lens you have, but look for something like that.


I have a 2.8 135mm, 1.4 58mm Minolta, and Vivitar 3.5 28-210mm purchased from Ebay. I have a couple of other lenses in the bag that I haven't tried on the camera yet. The picture quality with the Minolta lenses is not clear.

It's so strange. The pictures with the Minolta lenses are blurry. I put the lenses on the Minolta and it's the same thing, doens't zoom in.

I don't understand this at all. The zoom adjust has absolutely nothing to do with the adapter. The adapter does only one thing, and that is to hold the lens at exactly the correct distance from the sensor.

Once in place, you now adjust the focus ring, the zoom ring and aperture on the lens. It couldn't be simpler.

Are you sure you don't have a lens with a macro setting and you are in that setting? Otherwise, the symptoms don't make sense.

Not sure what you are saying. The MD lens can work on the A6000 with the correct adapter. It will be manual focus only, but it will work. The LA-EA4 is not for MD type lenses. it is designed for the Minolta/Sony AF lenses for which it works great, but not for the MC/MC lenses.

Minolta MC/MD lenses both use the same adapter. I have a Rokkor 50mm MC lens and it works very nice on the A6000, but it is 100% manual, both focusing and aperture. The MD will be exactly the same. The adapter I am using for this lens is the Fotasy MD/NEX adapter, but I can't imagine the Neewer working any differently. When I look it up, it looks exactly the same depth as the Fotasy.

The A6000 should have a setting called "Release w/o lens", and should be set to "ON". You will need to find in the menu, so it can take an image without waiting for a response from an AF type lens. But it shouldn't prevent you from focusing.

And then rotate the focus ring and look for the lens to come to focus. One other thing to watch for is if you have a lens that can go into a macro mode, it won't rotate far enough for focus until you take it out of this macro mode.

just tried it with my 125m zoom lens. It works but I can't zoom in. Jusy stays focused on one spot

Thank you, I will try this now.

Just boght my Sony a6000 and it's a great camera. However, i tried the adopter I bought (Neweer-MD-NEX) and it doesn't seem to work. All a blur. Sony suggested the LAEA4 adapter which is very pricey, but if I don't have a choice I will look into it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Obviously, you haven't done any manual focusing with Sony cameras. They are very easy to focus with these old lenses. Even easier than it was on the old camera bodies. Focus peaking is a game changer.
So glad I kept all my lenses and filters. The responses have been so helpful. Thank you
