Could you please update us your full Minolta lens model ?as Minolta has MD MC and AF mount, K&F Concept MD-M4/3 is suitable for: Lens: Minolta MD MC Mount lens(not for Minolta AF mount: KF06.157) Camera: Micro 4/3 (MFT) mount mirrorless camera like Olympus PEN, OM-D series, Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, G2, G3, G10, GX1, GH1, GH2, GF1, GF2, GF3, GF5, GH4, Panasonic AG-AF100 Mirrorless Digital Cameras, Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC) 

Don’t forget that it’s a manual lens adapter. Works with full manual lenses. If your lens has no physical aperture ring, you cannot control it from your camera. 

No. With this adapter, your lens is completely manual. You can only operate your camera in manual or aperture priority mode. 

Please note: our M42 adapter ring could not be suitable for Pentax Takumar Super Takumar Carl Zeiss M42 series（aperture pin does not fully depress, small tabs sticking out), as ours depresses the aperture pin all the way down

 

There are two types of FD mounts
FD/FL Breech-Mount (with a silver ring, you need to rotate the silver ring when attachment and removal), breech-lock mounts are identified by the silver ring
New-FD Bayonet Mount, bayonet mounts are identified by a red dot next to the lens release button

Here are the steps to install breech-mount version

1. Set your lens to smallest except for auto(bayonet mount only)
2. Rotating the Lock-Open ring of the adapter on the OPEN side
3. Line up the red dot with your lens and adapter ring(if yours is bayonet mount, just turn the adapter ring towards clockwise direction to make lens and adapter tight,then ignore the 4th step)
4. Turn your lens ring towards counterclockwise direction to make the adapter ring tight with your lens
5. Rotating the Lock-Open ring of the adapter on the LOCK side to engage the aperture closing pin

Operating the adapter

1. If you'd like to operate the lens aperture with the adapter; on your lens, set the aperture to the smallest opening and use the adapter ring
2. If you'd like to operate the lens aperture with the lens; place the adapter ring on the small aperture(Lock place) and control the aperture on the lens
