Sony NEX Minolta SR Lens Adapter

It's a big day for Sony NEX lens adapters! Here's the 1st one, it's a Sony NEX E-mount to Minolta Rokkor SR, MC, MD, and X-600 Lens Adapter. These Minolta lenses were fist produced in 1958 and ended their run in 1998 with the last X-600 lens. All of the mounts are compatible. This gives us hundreds of different options, the exact number we do not know - if you do please post it, but there are 53 MD lenses alone.

    from anon: 287 That's the number of original Minolta made SR mount lenses, counted with every major revision (without the Photars and Bellow Micros, they have RMS mount and need an adapter for SR mount). The number of third party lenses for SR mount is uncountable ...

OpenMemories App Shown on Camera's Application Tab DHI Enterprises shows us how to install a third party application for Sony Cameras which support the PlayMemories Camera Apps. The third party OpenMemories AppStore can now be installed using the same method shown. WARNING from the OpenMemories AppStore developer: Is it safe? This is an experiment in a very early stage.
