[QUOTE="Steve B, post: 252541, member: 15754"] In most cases it is difficult to adapt a lens designed for a shorter flange distance to a camera with a greater flange distance while retaining infinity focus without adding additional optics. Minolta MD lenses have a flange distance of 43.72, Minolta AF and Sony lenses have a flange distance of 44.6, and Nikon F mount has a flange distance of 46.5. Going the other way, adapting Minolta MD lenses to something like micro four thirds with a flange distance of 19.25 works very well. (I do it with old Minolta MD lenses on my Olympus cameras) [/QUOTE]
