Hi All,

I have an adapter with glass so I can use MD mount lenses on my Maximum film bodies. Seems to work great. I have film in processing now, which will be scanned and I'll post some results on here. I also use a bellows or extension tubes as necessary to capture my subject.

If you use film cameras, check the shutter lock defeat at http://www.mhohner.de/sony-minolta/faq.php#lenscheck. There is a lot of useful info on this website.

I bought a maxxum 7000 film body just for use with manual lenses, telescopes (future) and macro work. I love it so much I now own three. Not giving up my more modern bodies, but love the feel and heft of the 7000. BTW, most I paid for a 7000 is $20 with shipping.
