One of the most appealing aspects of small mirrorless cameras like the Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5 is the availability of a wide range of interchangeable lenses, including non-Sony lenses. This Novoflex Adapter for Minolta MD or MC Lens to Sony NEX Camera makes it possible to mount a Minolta MD or Minolta MC lens to your NEX-3 or NEX-5 camera with a precision mechanical adapter. Such an adapter does not transfer functions from the camera to the lens, such as auto focus, but automatic exposure metering (stop-down metering/aperture priority) is possible. The lens will focus to infinity using this adapter.

Comments about Novoflex Adapter for Minolta MD or MC Lens to Sony NEX Camera:
I bought this adapter mount for my Sony NEX FS-100. It allows me to use all my old Minolta MC and MD primes from the 1970s. Until this was available, I had to make do with a $20 chinese made adapter. It worked but barely, the quality was very low and the lenses would come off while changing apertures if I wasn't careful. This Novoflex is really of great quality, a major difference in fit and finish. A night and day difference. It costs 10 times as much as the one I owned previous but well worth it. The Novoflex has a firm positive fit for both the lens and the camera. Nothing loose, nothing wobbles. Highly recommend.
