An interchangeable mount for manual, mirror and other lenses and accessories, for many Minolta auto focus, Konica Minolta and Sony Alpha digital cameras
This interchangeable lens mount is for T mount (also known as T2) manual preset lenses, mirror lenses, slide copiers and other accessories from Soligor, Vivitar and many other manufacturers. It fits many 35mm auto focus SLR cameras including the majority of Dynax and Maxxum models, Konica Minolta AF and digital and many Sony Alpha DSLR and SLT models - see the Compatibility section below for a full list.
The combination works with manual focusing and diaphragm, compatible with metered manual and aperture priority auto exposure modes on most suitable cameras, using stopped down TTL metering or TTL flash control where available. Not suitable for program or shutter priority auto exposure modes.
The mount is in two parts, and three screws lock them together. The screws can be loosened slightly, the lens rotated in the mount, and the screws tightened to ensure that the scales appear at the top when mounted. This only has to be done once for each mount/lens combination. The mount is solidly made, with all metal construction.
Please note that this listing is for the lens mount ONLY, and no lens, camera or other accessory is included. Not compatible with other interchangeable mount systems such as T4, TX, Adapt-a-Matic, Adaptall, Hanimex H, etc.
Condition: Excellent+++ (8.5/10)
The mount is in very good condition and fully working order. It fits cameras and lenses properly with little play, and locks securely. Cosmetically it shows the usual surface scratches and paint scrapes here and there in the finish. No dents or dings, and overall it's in nice shape! At the time of listing we have more than one of this item, but the pictures and description here are representative of all of them.
Compatibility
This mount fits most Minolta AF 35mm, Konica Minolta 35mm, 5D and 7D digital plus many Sony Alpha digital SLR cameras. Most film cameras work with stopped down metering in manual and aperture priority auto exposure modes, but models with program modes only are not suitable for manual lenses or accessories. The Sony Alpha A33, A35, A37, A55, A57, A65, A77, A100, A560, A580 and A700 (plus the A850 and A900 with firmware 2.0 or higher) work with stopped down metering in aperture priority auto or metered manual exposure modes. Other Alpha DSLR cameras (the A200 to A550) work in metered manual mode only. Most of these cameras require setting up for manual lens operation, either by changing an option in the menu system (digital) or pressing a combination of buttons while turning on (film).
