Will this work on a Minolta Maxxum AF 70-210 onto a Sony NEX 3?

No, this is for the older Minolta MD/MC mount not the Minolta Maxxum/Sony Alpha mount. In order to use Minolta Maxxum/Sony Alpha lenses with a NEX-3 you need a Sony LA-EA2 adapter. The LA-EA2 adapter allows you to use the auto focus on all Maxxum and Alpha lenses.

NO, this adapter is for manual lenses. Check for an af adapter, they are some available, but the will cost more.

The Minolta Maxxum has a different mount than the earlier manual focus MD mount, so no.

No. This adapter will not work. This is an e-mount adapter for an NEX camera, to an older manual Minolta MD mount lens. You need NEX MOUNT TO SONY MA (ALPHA) LENS. YOU NEED THIS ONE: Fotasy ANAF Sony Minolta MA AF Lens to Sony NEX E-Mount Camera Adapter (Black) and you control the aperture manually. The other option is the Sony LA-EA3 with in camera aperture controls.

i have a sony nex 3 and have lenses for it, can they be interchanged with this camera?

Unfortunately it is not, this adapter is only compatible with cameras featuring the Sony/Minolta Iiso hotshoe. For your nex this product is available Fotasy ShoeNEX Hot Shoe Adapter for Sony NEX NEX-3 NEX-5 NEX-C3 NEX-5N NEX-F3 NEX-5R Cameras with Premier Lens (Black) though I would be careful using flashes directly on it as it could short circuit your camera. I think that product was mainly designed for wireless triggers. Hope this helps!

I bought it for my nex 6And it works real goodI believe it will work with your nex 3NBecause it is for the same modelAnd they don't change the radio frequency codes

Yes it will work fine. And in response to the incorrect info given by Marco A... (on Nov 10, 2014), this Minolta lens (like All Minolta Maxxum AF lenses) certainly is designed for full-frame sensors. And will cover your "full frame" Minolta film camera, as well.

Yes - The Fotodiox adapter works well for that application. I have been using all of my old Minolta lenses (especially 50mm f1.4 and 50mm macro) on my Nex 5N. Make sure you set the menu to allow shutter to release "without lens". Use Manual or Aperture priority setting for metering and Focus Peaking to assist in focusing. You will have to manually set aperture on lens as there is no electronic communication with body

It worked with my NEX-3N. Its great! It charges the batteries much quicker than trying to do it through the camera. The batteries I got with it don't seem to hold the charge as long when the camera is not used all the time, but otherwise I have no complaints. I have (2) original sony batteries so I use the Wasabi batteries as backup.

No. That would need a different adapter. This one is for the Minolta bayonet mount.

I only know that it did not work with my Nex 20, sony. My mentor had to drill holes in it to make it fit. You may want to call a big photo shop in NY and ask them, or ask 47th Street Photo. Good luck!

It will fit. This is an A mount lens. That means it is the same mount since Sony a100, and that is the same as the old Minilta maxxum mount. It should work perfectly on your cameras.

Thanks for posting your question, As per the product description, this will not work with the nex 3N- this adapter is only compatible with these Sony models: NEX-3 NEX-5 NEX-C3 NEX-5N NEX-F3 NEX-5R I hope this helps!

Yes, it'll work with any Alpha lens. Please note that you will have to set the focus and aperture manually. I use the adapter with my NEX-7 and my old Minolta lenses (Beercan 70-210, prime 28 and 50). My old glass gives me terrific images at the (small) cost of having to take a little more time to take each picture.

I have the same lense and it works fine. The auto focus and lense mount are compatible. Sony uses the same lense mount that Minolta used. Best of luck.

I'm using one of my dad's old minolta AF28-70 lens on my A65, so I'd think it should be fine. Sony absorbed (bought?) the Konica Minolta technology, so they advertise that they are compatible.

Yeah, this should definitely work. I have an old 50mm Minolta lens and I use the adapter with a Canon 7D, works great. Hope this helps!
