With analog cameras having revived my interest in #photography lately, I decided to invest a little in renewing my digital equipment as well. Both because the old 450D is now a little underwhelming and because a mirrorless camera would let me use my Minolta lenses digitally. I'll be experimenting with that as soon as the adapter arrives.

Did a couple of test shots around the house. This one takes inspiration from, but does not make justice to, the excellent everyday photography of @Tsbasatoru@gram.social. Highly recommend checking out his work!

@kraks Are your Minolta lenses all manual focus? Iā€™d like to be able to use my auto focus as well

Yes, mine are all SR-mount manual focus lenses. For the A-mount autofocus lenses, you can either use them natively on Sony A-mount cameras (their Alpha DSLRs) or with an electronic adapter on their E-mount mirrorless cameras. Adapting to non-Sony cameras is possible, but only with fully manual operation (unless someone somewhere has reverse-engineered an electronic adapter for other systems).
