I have a new (old stock) Quantaray 28-70 lens for Minolta and would like to use it on my K50. Do any of you have experience using the adaptor from either Fotodiox or K&F? Likes/dislikes and comments welcome. Thanks in advance.
Here's the Fotodiox adaptor: www.adorama.com/fdmdpkg.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAyrXiBRAjEiwATI95mdoE0GJRFjgtL1wLyDfafE_7Bp0-lu97YrUdzOwDEoe2GGVd0aEQjRoCYiAQAvD_BwE
Just stating the obvious, but this combo will have an equivalent focal length of 59-147mm. Handling will be awkard at best, and you haven't told us the aperture of the lens. The 40$ adaptor makes it not so interesting financially
It could be fun to play with these oldies, but i'd recommend you have a standard zoom for your K50 first.
