This camera setup shouldn't exist

Pairing the Sony Qx1 mirrorless camera with the Monster adapter and Minolta Vectis lenses.

I hope china makes more of these niche adapters, so that we can resurrect more old but gold lenses

I have a soft spot for the Vectis system. Got the same setup on my cheap ZV-E10 and love how some of the lenses show...including the 50macro and the 80-240

I have a Sony Qx1, a Sony Qx10, and Qx100. As old as they are, they are still awesome and still take amazing pictures.

Love to see obsolete stuff being used great work!

Man, trying out and playing with super weird camera systems, you're living the dream

[TJ-fniw]

I bought a macro minolta, and I made an adapter for it, and it takes the best macro photos.

I adored the QX series cameras when I worked for Sony. The QX100 and QX10 went everywhere with me and pulled some serious hard work during our wedding shoots. The QX10 is fabulous with Sony's 28 f/2. Seeing the Vectis lenses on it is hilariously cool. I still have a Vectis 40 CLS on the fireplace.

Great idea who created this adaptor in China👏👏👏👏

This just might be your nerdiest one ever! I love it.

[Pleezath]

you can use this as a gopro type camera like they do with the Venice 2 in fighter jets to maintain quality.

only this one is 1080p

Man ive been looking for months online for the QX1 and still no trace..

[Hettdizzle]

That most certainly looks like Flagstaff

[kingghidorah]

you know sh!t's serious when even Minolta gave all their love to make their cheapest lenses still outperform the current ones today.

[kennyadvocat]

Wish they made this in a smaller sensor mount.

[Nick_Parau]

Cheap are only the basic kit lenses, the APO or more specialized lenses are still expensive.

Actually, if this had been out three years ago, I would've bought this for my A6000 and my V-lenses. I'm in M4/3 now, it'd be cool if there was a V-M4/3 Monster adapter.

[lucapug]

Wait i just had an idea what if you take apart one of those to make it smaller and fit it into a old canon or small mirrored 35mm film camera and use it as a screenless camera with a slight crop factor

[SleepyGuppy]

Hi, do you play Grass for future builds?

[KnifeGuy_]

What are you using as the brains or ui?

[matthieuzglurg]

adapted to anything other than the QX1, it could actually be a decent combo, like I dunno on a SOny A6000 or something similar
