Adapting basics#

A lens can be adapted with simple tube spacers when its flange distance is longer than the camera's. With 36.00 mm, Minolta V-mount lenses can in principle go on bodies with shorter flanges such as Nikon S / Contax RF, Contax RF-mount, Hasselblad XPan, Contax G, Olympus PEN F, M39 / LTM (Leica thread). Bodies with this mount can take lenses from longer-flange systems such as Four Thirds, Konica AR, Konica F-mount, Canon FD, Canon FL, Start, Minolta SR / MC / MD, Fujica X.
