K&F Concept MAF-M4/3 – Minolta A / Sony A Lens to Micro 4/3 Mount Adapter

The K&F Concept MAF-M4/3 adapter lets you mount Minolta A / Sony A mount lenses on Micro 4/3 mount cameras. The precisely machined adapter holds the lens firmly with no play. It is a purely mechanical adapter without electronic contacts: focusing is manual, the aperture is set with the ring on the adapter, and infinity focus is retained.

Which lenses and cameras

On the lens side it takes Minolta A / Sony A mount lenses. On the body side it fits Micro 4/3 mount cameras. Minolta A lenses have no aperture ring, so the aperture is set with the ring directly on the adapter.

Build and mounting

The adapter is precisely machined, so it sits firmly and without play. A red dot makes mounting easy: align the dots and turn the lens and the body about 90° until the mount clicks.

Manual operation

The adapter has no electronic contacts, so the camera does not recognise the lens and neither autofocus nor automatic aperture control works. Focusing is manual and the aperture is set with the ring on the adapter. Infinity focus is retained. Before first use, enable shutter release without a lens in the camera menu (e.g. “Release w/o Lens” – the name varies by model), otherwise the camera will not fire.

Tips for use

• On telephoto lenses the infinity mark (∞) is deliberately offset slightly to allow for thermal expansion, so check infinity focus in the viewfinder or on the screen.
• On a Micro 4/3 camera the focal length is multiplied by roughly 2×.
