There are only 8 lenses, but the effort for the AF is too high.
We should honor his work and buy the adapter.

I bought one of the original batch five years ago .

On the facebook page it said ;

The supported lens list (all 8 lenses):
17mm F3.5
50mm F3.5 Marco 1:2
400mm F8 Reflex
22-80mm F4-5.6
25-150mm F4.5-6.3
28-56mm F4-5.6
56-170mm F4.5-5.6
80-240mm F4.5-5.6 APO

However regarding the list of supported lens , it seems wrong to me though as the 25-150mm F4.5-6.3 and 28-56mm F4-5.6 cannot be manually focussed , even on a Minolta Vectis SLR .

So actually only 6 lenses are supported .

When you say "The rush is low, only orders count" , their would be more orders if it supported AF .

It can't be far off making that happen as there is clearly a handshake as they reset the lenses too infinity on shutdown .

Just a thought .
