(More customer reviews)This tries to do the impossible it seems, and almost does. I have read many places that it is impossible to mount old Minolta glass on a modern Nikon camera due to the shorter lens to focal plane distance on the Nikon. This adapter attempts to solve that problem with an extra lens that modifies the image on the way to the sensor or film inside the Nikon camera of your choice.
While it did make it possible to see an image, I had the following issues:
1) The sharpness was pretty bad, especially on normal focal length lenses. I was trying to focus a 50mm lens and could not get acceptable results, even stopped down. This was better on telephoto lenses, but still not up to the standards of even a cheap used manual focus lens actually built for a Nikon camera.
2) On the 135mm lens that was decently sharp I couldn't focus to infinity.
3) Poor fit - for each of the lenses I tried there was some substantial wobble when the lens was attached. the mount between the camera and the adapter was fine, but connection to the lens had considerable play. It was disappointing.
This was a fun thing to play with for an afternoon, but it was quickly returned when I realized it wouldn't be satisfactory.
