What lenses will fit your Sony A290 DSLR camera?

Can you use your minolta lenses with any camera?
No, Minolta MC and MD lenses (SR-mount) will only fit on the older non-AF cameras, Minolta AF mount lenses will only fit on the Maxxum/Dynax AF cameras and some Sony SLRs (Konica-Minolta sold its camera business to Sony in 2006 and Sony has developed cameras that use the AF-mount). If you put a Minolta lens on a camera that does not have the corresponding mount you could end up with a very expensive repair bill - or an interesting paperweight ;)
Will Olympus film camera lenses fit digital camera?
yes
Do slr lenses fit all cameras?
Generally, no. Each manufacturer has proprietary mounts for their lenses and, for example, Nikon lenses will not fit a Canon and so on. There are aftermarket lenses made to fit various cameras, but you need to specify the make and even sometimes the model of the camera in order to get a mount that fits.
Does any dslr use minolta autofocus lens?
Yes, the SONY ALPHA series of DSLRs have the MINOLTA mount. When Sony took over the Minolta business line, they continued the proprietary MINOLTA lens mount and the Minolta flash shoe, which are unique- that is, ONLY A MINOLTA OR SONY LENS OR FLASH WILL FIT A SONY ALPHA camera. There might be some drawbacks, however. Depending on the focal length, year of production, number of electronic contacts, and type of Minolta AF lens (check the number of gold contacts on the side of the lens that goes into the camera), some of the lenses that have more that five (5) contacts might not work perfectly with the SONY Alpha camera. This is because most of the MINOLTA lenses with 7 or more contacts are POWER ZOOMS- that is, they zoom in and out if you twist the lens grip/ body under power from the camera. SONY has NOT continued this technology, and so the POWER ZOOM MINOLTA LENS will definitely not zoom in and out if mounted on a SONY ALPHA camera body. In its final years of production before the SONY takeover, MINOLTA made so many lenses with so many technological features (such as the POWER ZOOM) built into the lenses themselves. But don't worry...the best thing about having good old MINOLTA AF lenses is that they WILL fit a SONY ALPHA DLSR body. It's up to you to play with the combination of lenses and camera bodies to see what ANTIQUE (Minolta lens) you can still use with a SUPER NEW (Sony Alpha) camera. That's where most of the fun of photography is.
Will canon lens fit a sony 35mm camera?
NO
Do Maxxum 7000 lenses fit other cameras?
Yes. The Minolta Maxxum 7000 uses the Minolta AF mount; lenses for the camera should fit any Minolta auto-focus SLR ever made, as well as Sony's α digital SLRs (A100, A700, A200, and friends). These comments only apply to genuine Minolta lenses; non-Minolta lenses for this camera (such as some Sigma lenses) may have issues working on later cameras, such as the DSLRs mentioned above.
Will Canon lenses fit Sony?
The short answer is: No. Sony DSLRs take Minolta or the new Sony (Carl Zeiss) lenses. You may try your luck in the adapters fields. I'm not sure if there are any for the particular case.
How many lenses can fit a Minolta slr?
The minolta AF mount can fit Sony, Sigma, Tamron, Tonika, Carl Zeiss, Konika-Minolta lenses. Minolta and Sony are the most compatible for lenses - it depends on the type of lense you are looking for macros, zoom, fixed. There is atleast 94 seperate lenses that are compatible however.
Will any lens fit any model of camers?
NO. The lenses are designed for a specific brand name camera. A lens for a Canon camera will only fit a Canon etc.
Will tamron camera lenses interchange with other cameras?
Typically camera lens for tamron will not fit another camera only because they are usually specifically made to only fit their own cameras and not others.
Do Olympus cameras lens fit other makes of cameras?
Some Olympus camera lenses fit other cameras and some only fit Olympus cameras. They have a number of lenses that fit the micro four-thirds mounting.
