Hi guys, just recently picked up a Minolta MD Rokkor-x 50mm 1.4, in extremely good condition at a pretty good price. It's a beautiful lens IMO. I am sort of puzzled though with the constant debate about using it on a DLSR. I currently have a Canon 60D and I would love to put it into use ASAP. I read about fully converting it to fit an EOS, but the process is such a hassle. Are there any good mounts/converters that can I use? Thanks for any responses in advance!

Regards

minolta MD's don't have easy converters...that's why the process of converting it to EOS is such a hassle...

there are probably a million 50mm f1.4 M42 lenses that would be converted to EOS in 2 seconds though...unfortunately you bought the minolta, which is not one of them...

So it's impossible? Is there any trusted mount or anything that wouldn't alter my results or do I have to actually convert the whole thing.
