Mount Minolta
which digital slr body will collaborate with my tamron lens ?
hi ! i have a tamaron 28-200 ld , aspherical,automatic lens currently mounted on minolta dynax3 analog automatic slr body. i want to use this lens with some digital slr. i have tried canon bit the mounts do not match.minolta i have heard has been taken over by sony. which digital slr body would now be used to mount my tamron lens ?
Hi arora,
Your Minolta Dynax 3, known as a Minolta Maxxum 4 where I live (USA), uses the Minolta Maxxum mount, which was bought by Sony and renamed the “Alpha” mount, with no other changes.
Your lens will work on any Sony DSLR. In the used market, it will also work on any Konica-Minolta DSLR.
Note that since most Sony DSLRs (and all Konica-Minolta DSLRs) use a sensor that is smaller than 35mm film, your 28-200 will have the field of view of a 42-300mm lens (multiply 28-200 by 1.5). The sensor size is about 23.6 x 15.8mm.
The only exception is the flagship Sony A900, which has a sensor that is the same size as 35mm film.
So unless you’re planning on spending almost US$3,000 for an A900, you might want a wider lens than your 28-200. I would suggest looking at the Tamron 18-250mm, which has an excellent reputation (for a lens of such wide focal-length range) and is very widely loved by users. Its optical quality is a substantial improvement over the Tamron 28-200. The 18-250, on the smaller-sensor DSLRs, would have a field of view equivalent to about 27-375 on a film camera (again, multiply by 1.5).
Before the Tamron 18-250 came out, the Sigma 18-125mm (equivalent to 27-187mm) was the leading favorite among those who like such wide-to-long lenses on DSLRs. And before that, it was the Tamron 24-135mm. Some people really liked the Tokina 24-200, but it was huge and heavy.
Good luck and have fun!
Greg
