#3: Kommentar von George am 10. November 2009, 07:12:25 Uhr:

Hi Michael,
Thanks very much for keeping up this website of very useful info. I found it through a link on Dyxum, the Minolta Maxxum/Sony site.
This note is not really realted to stuff on this page, but this is where I found the email link, LOL.
I love the charts. I own 2 Minolta MF bodies and 5 film Maxxums. This is a great source of info when planning another purchase. Thanks for including the aftermarket lenses and flashes as well. I like the inclusion of the HTsi and HTsi Plus models. NO, they are not the same model as other sites say. I have the HTsi. and XTsi. Your pictures should be updated, as the HTsi has no silver on it. Qtsi & STsi are all silver, the STsi adding a dial to change settings. HTsi in Black only adds the leatherette panels to the front. The HTsi Plus and the XTsi are in silver with leatherette panels on front. All of these except the XTsi sport a plastic lens mount. XTsi gets metal mount.
I noticed a Maxxum 7 Limited on the list, but the details seem identical to the 7. How is it different?
BTW, around here we don't put an "o" in the word 'curtain'. Where are you from? LOL
Again, I really like the site. I hope you keep it online.
Since I also own Canon EOS film bodies, do you know if anyone has built a similar site for Canon stuff?
Feel free to edit this note before posting it, and if you know of an EOS based site, please email me.

Michael Hohner antwortet:

I've moved this, as I think it fits better here.

Each row in the camera table represents up to three cameras. There may be cosmetic differences between regional models.

The differences between the 7 and 7 Limited are listed in the comments column. You can also use the comparison function on the page to find differences automatically.

I don't know if something similar exists for Canon EOS.

#4: Kommentar von JEN am 3. März 2010, 21:24:48 Uhr:
thank you so much for this page I was confused on were to find all this info and you have it laid out so nice and straight forward here! thanks

#5: Kommentar von ddd am 14. April 2010, 18:52:04 Uhr:

Hi Michael,
i have some addition to your table (column Comments):
You already list "plastic lens mount" for Dynax 300si, Dynax 404si, Dynax 500si.

Further models do have a plastic lens mount: Dynax 303si, Maxxum HTsi, Dynax 505si, Dynax 4, Dynax 40.

For the Dynax 3L i have not found any valid information, but i am sure it has a plastic lens mount also.

Any other model listed here has a metal lens mount.

Thanks for your great work!

Michael Hohner antwortet:
Thanks for the update. The mount material is now a separate column in the above table.

#6: Kommentar von Joe Chinea am 19. April 2010, 23:16:09 Uhr:

Great ref web page... the problem is that Sony will not sell a body of a camera. I have been attempting to purchase an A230 or A330 to use with system of Minolta AF lenes. I have had no luck with retailers and Sony Style and Parts/Acc department both have not answers.

The question then is, why have interchangable parts when its impossible to complete the item without duplicating lenes and increasing the intial cost of the item?

Michael Hohner antwortet:
This depends on the market. For example, in Germany and Britain Sony is selling the A230 and A330 also body only. In the U.S. Sony is selling only camera kits of the A230 and A330 with at least one lens (the 18-55).

Hervorragende Seite - Hut ab!
Seit langer Zeit greife ich immer wieder auf diese Seite zurück, weil ich weiß, dass ich hier umfangreiche und verlässliche Informationen finde, die ich als Minolta-Nutzer gut gebrauchen kann.
Als aktiver Fotograf und Sammler von Minolta-Kameras hat mir die Seite zahlreiche Male weitergeholfen, bei Kaufentscheidungen und bei technischen Fragen.
Unbedingt weitermachen!

Vielen vielen Dank!

Been new to the world of SLR i found this site abolutely brilliant. The amount of imformation impeccable, excellent work

#10: Kommentar von Gerald Rik am 5. November 2011, 00:31:58 Uhr:

Hallo Michael,
You did a wonderfull job creating this. I'm collecting the Minolta Dynax camera's as well as the lenses. So I can allways get inspiration about the technical innovations in the camera's.
Is it maybe possible to make a connection from the cameratype and a pdf of the manual. Its very difficult to find one, and often the printing isn"t possible.
Good luck and succes with your lovechild.
Gerald

Michael Hohner antwortet:
Remember that Minolta still has the Copyright for their manuals. After they have closed their download page for these manuals, there seems to be no more (legal) way to download the camera manuals. Obviously, I can't link to illegal download pages.

#11: Kommentar von Chris Freeman am 29. Februar 2012, 17:48:19 Uhr:

so, quick question, the 5000 is not listed under the film bodies from minoltas first line of af cameras. does that mean these first af cameras did not use the a-mount. now MOST digital cameras have sensors that are smaller than 35mm film fram and the dt lenses are designed to overcome the sensors size. these dt lenses, will they have an inverse crop effect when used on 35mm? this page is amazing and i look forward to starting my 35mm journey with my "new" maxxums.

Michael Hohner antwortet:
The 5000 is listed above. Look again. There is no inverse crop effect. You will get strong vignetting when using DT lenses on 35mm cameras.

#12: Kommentar von Steve am 4. Juni 2012, 01:06:31 Uhr:
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see the a100 in the list.

Michael Hohner antwortet:
Search for “A100”, it's there.

#13: Kommentar von Loccutus am 1. Juli 2012, 18:14:20 Uhr:
Hi there, your Nex 7 entry states it has no AEL button while it actually does.

Michael Hohner antwortet:
Thanks, it's updated.

#14: Kommentar von KAMSA am 14. September 2012, 09:22:48 Uhr:
Great database! can't see what is missing, hope you keep up the good work and when you retired, find a good successor to keep this database last! kind reg.

#15: Kommentar von Don Scott am 7. März 2013, 23:34:14 Uhr:
Hello Michael, I use a a700 and have only one Sony flash (HLV 3600). I also have a plethora of other Vivitar 283, 285, 285 HV and 4600's which I gang. Can I use the pc synch cords with the cameras pc plug without damaging the camera? Thanks again. Don

Michael Hohner antwortet:
According to the manual the PC sync connector can be used at up to 400V and with any polarity, so it should be safe.

#16: Kommentar von Don Scott am 1. Mai 2013, 04:02:53 Uhr:
Hi Michael, After your very positive review of the a77, I purchased a slightly used one on Ebay. I have a number of the older Minolta lenses, which will supposedly work with AF on the camera, but those older lenses focus only using MF and not on AF. The Sony lenses that I have do work. What am I missing? Thanks again (and again). Don

Michael Hohner antwortet:
Which are these lenses exactly that don't AF? Please use the lens table as reference.

#17: Kommentar von Don Scott am 1. Mai 2013, 15:16:58 Uhr:

Hello Michael, Before I list specific lenses, I noticed that unlike the a700 or a550, on all of the lenses I mention the focus wheel turns freely at all times regardless of AF/MF setting. The second thing I noticed is that almost all the lenses that I have tried are the original 1985 lenses. I bought them specifically because of the "old" metal build quality.

So far, 28/2.8 (1985), 50/1.7 (1985), 50/2.8 Macro (1985), 28-85/3.5-4.5 (1985), 28-135/ 4.0-4.5 (1985), 70-210/4.5-5.6 (1993).

It seems like the AF is "hunting" yet the focus doesn't change.

I have upgraded the firmware to 107. It seems like I am not seeing something.

Thanks again

Michael Hohner antwortet:
This sounds like the AF drive of the camera is broken. If you switch between AF and MF you should hear the AF clutch enganging and disenganging, and in AF mode you should not be able to manually focus a non-SSM/non-SAM lens. In general, these lenses do work in the A77. You should contact the seller of the camera.

#18: Kommentar von Don Scott am 2. Mai 2013, 00:36:29 Uhr:
Hi Michael, In looking at the screw drive in the body, it turns freely and I think that you're correct. I will be returning it to the seller. Thanks for your help. Don

#19: Kommentar von PERE MORALES MESAS am 9. Mai 2013, 20:26:49 Uhr:
tengo una maquina monolta dimax 5xi y quisiera saber si la targeta que se puede poner en la maquina es para almacenamiento de fotos , y donde la puedo adquirir muchas gracias por solucionarme este poblema

Michael Hohner antwortet:
The expansion cards of the xi series do not store images! They add functions to the camera. See here for an overview.

#20: Kommentar von Jimboh am 26. Juni 2013, 23:37:20 Uhr:

Hello Michael,
Having become a recently coolector and user of Minoltas and a DSLR Sony soon to be i've found your site a valuable source of help and information. Thanks.
A question if i may. I've recently purchased a Sigma 70-300 that only works in manual focus mode, (i knew this when buying). However, with the Dynax 5 it is manual only, but with the 404si the lens functions in both automatic and manual focus. Can you think of any reason why this woulld be?

Once again, thanks for the site.

Jim

Michael Hohner antwortet:
See the F.A.Q. list. Sigma is known for lenses that work on one generation of cameras and no longer work on the next generation.

#21: Kommentar von Ross am 3. Juli 2013, 17:28:02 Uhr:
Hi, could any1 tell me please what type of lenses i can use on a Minolta Dimage A2?

Michael Hohner antwortet:
This is a camera with a fixed lens. You can not put a different lens on it.

#22: Kommentar von PVCDroid am 13. März 2014, 17:02:44 Uhr:
Michael, I see that you have listed the level gauge as present on the A6000. Sony told me it isn't available on the camera and no one has seen a screen shot with it present. Can you confirm? Thanks!

Michael Hohner antwortet:
I think that was in the tech data of the Sony announcement. However, I can not find it anymore. I guess this was a mistake that they corrected later.

#23: Kommentar von Alberto am 13. August 2014, 07:59:22 Uhr:
Interested in acquiring a Maxxum 9 body that has been upgraded to support SSM/SAM lenses. Dou you know where can I get one or where to upgrade one?. By the way.. excellent site! Thanks

Michael Hohner antwortet:
The upgrade seems to be available (at least it was in February). See this Dyxum thread (read completely to make sure you don't miss anything). Where to get a 9? Try eBay or any other second-hand site. I have not checked.

#24: Kommentar von Giorgio am 14. August 2014, 09:40:19 Uhr:
Re: post 23 by ALBERTO yesterday. I have a Maxxum 9xi NEW body. I also have lenses, dedicated flash 5400xi, all cards for portraits, children, landscapes and much more. Everything NEW, never used, bought in U.S.A. I am a Minolta lover. Are you interested in something?

Michael Hohner antwortet:
A 9xi is not a 9.

#25: Kommentar von George McDonald am 21. Februar 2015, 06:30:40 Uhr:

I Minolta wireless remote flash controller (notation) BG103
Z270C W
T
on the side This unit is
made in Japan and works with a Maxium 9,7,and 7D,
however it doesn't sync with my Sony A900...I
have asked Sony direct but they refer me back to a Minolta
source.. This is why I come to you..There are 4 channels ,
wireless,ratio and off buttons on back...Are there any upgrades etc.
that anyone knows of to sync it to sony camera and Minolta D flashes?

Michael Hohner antwortet:
The Wireless Flash Controller is incompatible with DSLRs. There are no tricks to work around this.

#26: Kommentar von George McDonald am 24. Februar 2015, 18:22:48 Uhr:
The wireless controller as stated in comment#25 works well with my Maxxum 7D which is a DSLR, however Sony techs qdvised me to find a Minolta source to see if there were any possible upgrades or way to reprograme the existing controller? Do you know of any sites or persons whom may have that info? tnx George

Michael Hohner antwortet:
You may be lucky that the 7D just triggers the remote flash. But since this system would not be able to do pre-flash metering, exposure will be a hit and miss in auto mode. Again, there are no tricks, no workarounds, no upgrades. The Wireless Flash Controller was discontinued by Minolta many years before they stopped their entire photo business, and that again was many years ago.

#27: Kommentar von Jim McClain am 9. Februar 2016, 02:04:36 Uhr:
What is the size of the negative when the Maxxum STsi is set to panorama mode? Is it wider than the 36mm of a standard 135 frame (like maybe 72mm)? And if it is truly "panoramic", would the typical lens such as a 35-70 cover the wider frame size?

Michael Hohner antwortet:
The frame is cropped from the top and bottom in panorama mode (don't know by how much). As you correctly note, anything else would not be possible with the lenses for these cameras.

#28: Kommentar von Rumburak am 4. April 2016, 21:20:08 Uhr:

Hello, years and years later I'm back to your site :)
I have a dynax 4 that kept rewinding the film before the end of the roll, quite unpredictable. It's been doing this from time to time for the last 10 years or so :) But now it refuses to even load the film. And last time when I rewind the film manually it rewind it completely while the custom setting is set to leave the film tip out. Any ideea what I could check? Or any ideea of online Minolta servicing manuals source ? I would attempt to fix it. If not, we'll, maybe the Autocord will get more use.

Thank you in advance.

Michael Hohner antwortet:
The sprocket hole counter may be dirty. It's a hole somewhere along the area where the perforation of the film is. Try blowing it out with compressed air. If that doesn't help the film tension sensor may be broken. I don't know how to repair this.

#29: Kommentar von Luke Gallacher am 30. September 2016, 16:59:56 Uhr:
Hello Michael, Wonderful to read your insights and extensive knowledge of one of my all-time favourite cameras (the 800SI QD)But, of late, the battery discharges very very quickly - are they just duff batteries, or have I got something to really worry about ? Thanks for any advice.

Michael Hohner antwortet:
It could be indeed the camera. When electronic components age the power consumption can increase. I recommend you remove the battery from the camera when you don't use it.

#30: Kommentar von Steven Diettert am 8. März 2017, 16:54:04 Uhr:
I am having a rather difficult time locating a MPP-1000 Monitor protection panel for the Maxxum 9000 and an Ec-1400 for the Maxxum 7D camera. I found both on German and Japanese sites but cannot read either....much less order from them....HELP Thank you for this site it is GREAT and a wealth of information.....SUPERB. Steven Diettert, Oregon Wisconsin

Michael Hohner antwortet:
Sorry, can't help you, either. I don't sell anything, nor do I know who does sell these things.

Please read the F. A. Q. list, this is answered there in detail.

#32: Kommentar von Allen Turner am 12. August 2017, 20:33:45 Uhr:
Is it possible to have the date imprint feature extended past the December 31, 2019 end point that is listed in the owner's manual? Thank you.

#33: Kommentar von Allen Turner am 12. August 2017, 20:38:29 Uhr:
Correction to my previous question about the date imprint. The camera in question is a Minolta XTsi.

Michael Hohner antwortet:
I don't see how this could be possible.

#34: Kommentar von Anthony New am 22. März 2018, 11:14:46 Uhr:
Hi. In the table above you list the Nex 7 as having HSS and WL HSS capability (unlike the Nex 6), but in the WL compendium there is no option to select 'camera flash' on either. I thought all the Nex range needed an additional flash for HSS or WL control. Am I wrong, or is the table misleading?

Michael Hohner antwortet:
That's not a contradiction. These cameras support wireless flash, but only when using a dedicated flash as the controller. The built-in flash can not act as a controller. Other NEX models (e.g. the NEX-5) can use a dedicated flash, but even then do not support wireless flash.

Hi, the α7R can be marked as non-current, it went out-of-production in April 2018, due to one part not being produced anymore. The α7 and α7S and all second Generation α7 series cameras continue to be produced.

Also I would sort the α6500 before the new α6400, because it will still stay the higher-class model (also at a higher Price Point).
And as a final note, the 29:57 minutes Video file Limit is finally gone in the α6400.

The cameras are listed in reverse release order within the class. I've seen the video limit mentioned by people, but I've never seen this in a spec sheet from Sony.

Thanks for your continued work on maintaining this lists!
The "system camcorder" section looks a little bit outdated:
NEX-VG30 and NEX-VG900 went out of production (www.sony.jp/handycam/lineup/past.html section 2012), even if VG30 is still sold by sony japan store.
NEX-FS100, NEX-FS700(R), NEX-EA50 went out of production (pro.sony/en_GB/products/handheld-camcorders?discontinued=true).
The PXW-FS5M2 is missing (pro.sony/en_GB/products/handheld-camcorders/pxw-fs5m2), looks like a minor upgrade to the PXW-FS5.
Maybe add the Venice (MPC-3610)? It is sold with an already mounted PL mount adaptor, but it is a native E mount cam ;) (pro.sony/en_GB/product-resources/manuals/venice-operation-manual v4:pg.21)

Einfach immer wieder superpraktisch die Seite, ich verwende die oft zum Nachschauen und Vergleichen, großes Lob. Was ich grad aber vermisse, ist eine Spalte, ob die Kamera eine Wasserwaage hat (oder ich bin blind ;) ). Eine Alpha 6000/6100 z.B: hat keine, eine 6400 hat eine. Das wäre noch praktisch, einzubauen, da die Frage doch immer wieder kommt ;)

Michael Hohner antwortet:
Die Angabe findet sich in der Spalte "Other features" ("level gauge").

Thanks for your continued work on maintaining this lists! Sony Japan lists the ILCE-5100 and ILCE-6500 as discontinued. A few days ago this wasn't so. Further I believe that the ILCE-3000/3500 are longer ago discontinued, but they will never show up on the Japan past lineup page, because they where never released in Japan. You can't buy them new since some time at least in DACH area.

Die PXW-FX9 fehlt, die hat im Gegensatz zur VENICE gleich nen E-mount :)... (FX6 soll bald noch dazukommen, also vielleicht bis zu dem Pressrelease warten und dann auf einmal reinstellen :) ).

@Lofote #39: die Venice _ist_ E-mount. Nur im Karton ist der PL-mount-Adapter schon angeschraubt (6x 2,5mm Inbusschrauben, s.BDA aktuell (2,7 MByte) S.20/21 https://pro.sony/en_GB/search?q=Operating+Instructions+MPC-3610&type=s&cat= ).

Sony könnte die α-1 mit angesetztem LA-EA5 im Karton auf diese Weise als A-mount-Kamera vermarkten ;)

Neben PXW-FX9 und ILME-FX6 (und wohl bald ILME-FX3) fehlen auch die Industriekameras mit E-mount: SNC-VB770, UMC-S3CA, UMC-S3C. Sony meint "One Mount" wirklich Ernst.
Ob es sinnvoll ist, die Industriekameras hier zu listen, ist Michaels Entscheidung!

Hallo, super Nachschlagewerk, nutze ich immer wieder gern. Ein "Display filter" nach "Sensor-based image-stabilisation" wäre toll um einen schnellen überblick, gerade bei den E-mounts, die teilweise kein ibis haben, zu bekommen. Gruß Mario
