Small Equipment Update for Everybody

Hey Everybody,

Work has been busy for me lately, but I have a few clips I'm going to be uploading very soon.  I also just ordered a Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter - Minolta MD to Canon EOS Camera Adapter for shooting. This will hopefully give me even more flexibility. I have plenty of 35mm MD lenses that I would love to try out on my T2i (When is the T4i coming out anyways?!?!?!).

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE DONATED!!!!!! 

Every donation improves the quality of the footage offered, and the speed that I am able to get it to you.  This adapter will also be added to my Gear I Use page to keep you guys updated on what I use to do what I do.

  1. I have an old Tamron Lens (24-200mm) that was used on a Minolta "flim" camera (Minolta Maxxum 7000)

    My Lens is still in mint condition and I was wandering if an adapter would help me use the lens on my Canon 60D.

    1. I think it can. The Minolta camera you used had a lens that was classified as "A" mount. Minolta was bought by Sony and Sony retained that mount for it's DSLR line. What I think you will need is an A-Mount to EOS adapter like the one here (http://goo.gl/ylAV8t) made by the same manufacturer as my MD to EOS adapter. The lens will be completely manual once you have it on the camera, but most people who shoot with a DSLR won't shy away from that challenge. Hope this helps!
