Will manual Minolta SRT 101 lens work with A200

I have Minolta SRT 101 with manual lenses:
MC ROKKAR PF and MC Tele ROKKOR QF.
Will they work with A200, A100 or any Sony
DSLR if I use them manually?

Thanks bukit97 !! Now I know it's possible. I'll give it
a try. I'd hate to lose the old lenses even though
they're 35 years old. Thanks again.

Course, if it doesn't, George, there's always eBay ...

Thanks, James, for the...uh...tip. Easy to see why you
have 4 times as many points as bukit97 ;) Seriously though,
your suggestion is something to consider. Thanks.

Just reminding you of the option, George. These days, why futz with adapters when you can just sell what you don't need and get what you do? With adapters, there's a tradeoff of light loss and clarity issues. Why bother? All I'm saying. Good luck.

And you'd be amazed at how much I've learned from fellow members like bukit ...

George,

A lot of people ,without any points at all, can tell you the same answer.
It's a matter of spending some time browsing the net.

Like you, I still keep many of my old SLRs and lenses.
I would like to use the lenses once in a while, particularly the 500 mm Canon mirror telephoto lens and one or two fish eye lens.

However, what people, and the net, can't tell is whether it is worthwhile buying a new digital camera, such as A200 and going back to the old ways of taking pictures manually with 35 year old lenses.

Perhaps you can tell us the answer after you have tried it.

I think alot of it depends on if the DSLR you're looking at has the legacy support to use the old lenses. This is the strength of the Nikon system, IMHO.

James,
What you said makes perfectly good sense, and the loss of light
and clarity issues are factors I didn't consider. A packrat like me
just hates to depart with seemingly high quality beautiful lenses,
but I may do that if I'm not satisfied after trying the adapter technique.
Sorry about the lame attempt at humor concerning points in my
last comments, especially because your suggestions where both
serious and helpful.

And bukit 97,
Your point is well taken concerning buying a new digital camera and
then using the old manual ways of taking pictures. But after taking a few
thousand slides the old ways, it's hard to adapt to some of the so-called
advances in technology. Currently I use a digital camcorder that takes
3.1 MP stills, and much of the time I use it in manual mode setting the iris,
shutter, white balance and even focus manually. But after I've tried the
new DSLR using the manual lenses with adapter, I'll be happy to tell
you if it's all worthwhile. If not, I'll only be out the cost of an adapter.

In the meantime, thanks to you both.

NOVICE HERE JUST BOUGHT A MINOLTA SRT 101 WITH 3 LENSES IT HAS A TELEPHOTO LENS ON IT NOW AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT. CAN ANY ONE HELP . I PUSHED THE BUTTON ON THE LOWER FRONT IN BUT IT WILL NOT COME OFF.

Bill..."NOVICE HERE JUST BOUGHT A MINOLTA SRT 101 WITH 3 LENSES ......"

My Minolta SRT 101 is ancient - 1970-ish - but it might work the same.
Facing the front of the camera, there's a little round lever on the body to
the upper right of the lens. Push the lever downward and rotate the lens
counterclockwise about 70 degrees until the red dot on the lens aligns
with the red dot on the body, then pull the lens out. I believe it's called a
bayonet mount.

GEORGE THANKS IT WORKED PERFECTLY

Bill,
Glad it worked. Now I have a question. If you -- or anyone -- takes 35mm
slides with your SLR film camera, where do you get your film? And who develops
slides now, or other 35mm film for that matter? I'm getting a Sony DSLR A200
or A350, but am keeping my old Minolta because lenses will fit the Sony digital
camera with an adaptor -- I'm told. My flat-bed scanner copies slides to the
computer with very high resolution and I'd like to compare pictures.

probably the best approach is to take a couple of your MC lenses into the store and ask if you can try it. maybe the store will have an adapter you can use while in the store. ... i recently surfed for used lenses for my A200 and was told by a service tech that MC lenses are not compatable. so a word to the wise, try it in the store to be sure it actually works!
