Vello LA-CEF-MD Overview

Make the most of your existing collection of Minolta MD-mount lenses with this Minolta MD Lens to Canon EF/EF-S-Mount Camera Lens Adapter from Vello. This durable adapter will allow you these lenses to be mounted to a Canon EF/EF-S-mount camera. Precise construction makes it easy to attach an adapted lens to a camera body and keep it secure during use. Infinity focus is guaranteed, ensuring proper functionality when shooting at long distances. In order to achieve infinity focus, an optical glass element is used, which features a coating to minimize the chance for glare and reflections.

The adapter is made from a durable zinc alloy for long life. Although the lens will fit physically, autofocus, automatic diaphragm (AE metering), and other functions dependent on communication between camera body and lens will be disrupted by the lens adapter. Focus and exposure will need to be set manually, or metered in aperture priority (stop-down) mode.

Enables the use of Minolta MD-mount lenses on Canon EF/EF-S camera bodies, meaning an existing collection of lenses can be used on later generation DSLRs and mirroless cameras.
Precision machining securely holds the lens in place without any wobble.
Infinity focus is guaranteed by placing the lens at the correct distance from the sensor, doesn't prevent shooting distant subjects.
Made from a durable zinc alloy, this adapter will withstand many uses for long life.
The internal matte black finish reduces reflections and glare, ensuring images maintain sharpness and contrast.

The device fits the camera and the lenses I have. Everything is manual with the camera settings.

Works as intended

It's so nice to be able to use some of my vintage lenses again. It allows me to focus to infinity, unlike the previous adapter I bought that didn't have a rear glass element.

Does this adapter incur a 1.4 crop factor like some others? I do realize that some light is lost. Thinking of using it on a Viltrox EF to EF-M focal reducer?
Asked by: Barri
The crop factor would be camera-dependent. In the case of a Canon DSLR with an APS-C sensor, the crop factor would be 1.6X.
