Does Minolta MD Zoom 35-70 3.5 work on canon 700D?

Did anybody use this combination? If, yes, which adapter did you use? Thanks for helping. Cheers

Thanks Vitaly for the reply, but on that scheme I cannot find anything about camera Canon EOS and Minolta MD ???

Sorry, flange distances:

Minolta SR-mount 43.50 mm

Canon EF-mount 44.00 mm

Hence you know the answer.

They do sell MD to EOS adapters with a piece of glass in them. I tried my Minolta MD 50mm f1.4 on a 50D and it looked horrible. I'm assuming the quality of that glass in the adapter was probably really bad. The adapter was pretty cheap so doubtful that they put any money into quality glass.

This one allows you to remove the glass which turns it into a Macro Tube.

Even on a 4/3 camera it is a decent but unexceptional lens. The Leica clone mini beercan F4 is reported to be better but is in fact about the same.

Howdy, Stranger!
