Adapter Minolta to Nikon
Mixing marques is not easy because of the differences in lens flange to CCD distance. Even with an adapter you might find that infinity focus was no longer possible.
By and large, stick to one make. If the Minolta lenses fit the Sony DSLRs. then that's the best route, but they may not.
The best compatibilty is found in Pentax and Nikon cameras, where the oldest manual focus lenses can still be used, albeit with some restrictions.
SRB Film Services make all sorts of adapters and may be able to help you. The adapter you want, if possible, may be quite expensive.
