Purchased by myself as a Photographic Optical resale item because it was a
Usable
ITEM: Maxxxum 3 date Film camera & MINOLTA 28~100mm/3.5-5.6D "A" mount lens , both in silver & black, matched pair!
1. The Maxxum 3 is the world's smallest and lightest AF SLR, yet it is fully equipped for high performance with one of the fastest autofocus speeds in its class. In addition, it uses the same type of focusing screen as Minolta's top-of-the-line Maxxum 9 and 7 models. The Maxxum 3 accepts all Minolta/Maxxum AF lenses for outstanding photographic potential and image quality on film ,,,,,,,.or the Zoom lens is Better on Sony Mirrorless cameras, or Sony APS-C Nex (43~153mm) Sony 24x36mm FE mount-FF (28~100mm) 2. Maxxum AF 28~100mm F:3.5~5.6 D lens , I was using on my KM-7D digital for a long time. Ultra fast focus, ultra sharp, great colors for the Sony A mount digital camera line, also for the ALL Sony E-mount digital camera using the LA-EA4 adapter.
You Will NEED an LA-EA4 adapter for E-mount = A7x, A7r, Nex models, Axxx models. Newer Sony E-Mount cameras A6300, A6500, A7s ll, A7r ll, use a LA-EA3 adapter. A mount sony you direct mount ie. A99 ll, etc. I do NOT sell adapters , but there are many on eBay..
