OK, I have a question, and this one will make you guys back a few years. I have a Minolta XG-7 camera that I got handed down from my dad. He has many old lenses that long with the camera are still in great shape. I want to know if I can use these len

 Sean,
 
You are not telling us what lenses you have. If they are original Minolta lenses, they are definitely worth holding onto. Superb quality and worth very little in today's auto everything world.
 
The lenses will fit ANY an ALL Manu

 Well I have 3 lenses, and a 2x Matched Multiplier.
 
Here is the list, they all have the original manuals, so I can be sure of what I have:
 
VIVITAR 2X Matched Multiplier
for Vivitar 70-150mm f3.8 Close Focusing Zoom Lens
 
VIVIT

 I think with the lenses you have you can take very good pictures, certainly better than a new $400 digital. I think you would need about a $1000 digital SLR to challenge the ability of the XG-7 and lenses you have.
 
I like the original Minolta ma

 AFAIK there are no cameras with the Minolta MD mount in current production, except for the Seaguall DF300.  
 
All Minolta MC and MD lenses will work with any manual focussing Minolta SLR. Maybe some features added on the last models (such as progr

 Thanks a bunch guys. It looks like I will just stay with the XG-7 and get to know and love it more.
 
I am mostly interested in taking quick action sports photos with high zoom. I noticed that when I put the 2X onto the 75-150mm that the focus circl

 These lenses will probably fit on your Minolta, but I have heard anything but good opinions on these Super-Tele-Zooms. They have a fixed aperture only (i.e. the aperture value varies with focal length setting but you can't change it), and their opt

 I just see that the second item you mentioned probably is one of the 500mm lenses I was referring to (it comes with the correct mount for your camera). The price seems acceptable, although they can be bought on the used equipment market for close to no

 Thank you very much for your help. I think you have answered all of my questions. Have a great day.

 Well sorry, one more. Where would I find that 2nd 50mm lense used?

eBay is a big source for older lenses, such as Minolta MC or MD mount, which is what will fit your XD-7 camera body. With patience and careful buying you can get good lenses for not too much money. Remember that it is very much 'buyer beware' so d

 I totally agree with Jim. Manual focussing lenses for any older SLR can be bought for ridicolous prices now in the age of digicams (except for some gems, such as original Nikon or Canon FD lenses). I think today the original Minolta MD lenses are quite

 Sean, if you looking for a long zoom at a good price, search eBay for a Samyang 100-500mm zoom. You can usually get this lens for under $100.00 and the quality is not bad. 50mm/ 2.0 or 1.7 lenses are very common on ebay, usually going for under $20

 I just got Vivitar lens that used to be used on a Minolta XG-7, but I need an adapter so I can use it on my Fujica STX-1, which has the Fujica x-mount.  Where can I get an adapter to use the Minolta-mount lens with my Fujica camera?
