[QUOTE="Karmann_65, post: 649393, member: 9467"] Hi all. I've been given 3 old lenses (previously used on a Dynax 7000 camera) and don't honestly know what to do with them. There's a Minolta 35-70 AF, Minolta 70-210 AF and a Sigma 28-200 AF 1:4 5.6 I can't vouch for their condition in any way other than saying they don't look physically damaged and the lenses visually appear to be clean. Would it be a wasted effort to try and resurrect these lenses from an old mans attic or worth a further look? I really don't want to persue this if they're actually no good or damaged internally. And is there a simple way to test the clarity/condition without first buying an adapter ring? My camera is a D3100 (soon to be upgraded to a D5500) for which I already have a Nikon 35mm, Nikon kit lens and a Nikon 70-300 Any help would be much appreciated. TIA Brian [/QUOTE]
