Below is a list of old A-Mount lenses which are incompatible with current DSLR bodies. Note that this list may not inlcude all incompatible lenses. You can report missing incompatible lenses by replying to this post.

Sigma Note that Sigma offers re-chipping for some of its incompatible lenses. Because of this, its possible to come by Sigma lenses that work with current bodies despite its listed as incompatible. If you want to learn whether a lens can be re-chipped, please directly contact Sigma technical support. There are also lenses with mounts that doesn't fit current A-Mount cameras, these mounts can be corrected manually by some work. 28-70mm F2.8-4 UC 70-210mm F4-5,6 UC II 70-300mm F4-5,6 APO macro super 70-300mm F4-5,6 DL macro super Sigma 400mm f/5.6 (non-APO) (some units are incompatible, its known that Sigma ran out of replacement chips, upgrading is not possible anymore) Following lenses were updated during production.

really?... HotDuck mentioned here that this list was issued by sigma!

i have updated the list to reflect.

madcats idea is really a good story.. craig?

The only problem I had with my Sigma non-apo gun-metal 400mm f5.6 was it didn't quite fit on the camera's thread so I filed it down a bit and it works a-ok now. It's a really old battered one too...

Hi all,

Being aware of the fact that many of you won't be able to read it, I somewhat hate to post one link after another to our German Minolta forum... ;-) Be assured, my sole intention is to spread and share information in both directions for the benefit of both user communities (and actually all Minolta/Konica Minolta/Sony photographers).

It happens, that we started a similar collection of lens vs. body compatibility issues some years ago in these two somewhat lengthly threads:

http://www.mi-fo.de/forum/index.php?showtopic=4477
http://www.mi-fo.de/forum/index.php?showtopic=5294

Our approach includes compatibility issues with film bodies as well. Actually, a portion of the data has been collected even before the advent of the Konica Minolta 7D, so we may benefit from new listings of incompatibilities at Dyxum just as much as you may benefit from the older user experiences at our place.

Unfortunately, I don't currently have the time to participate in the data exchange myself, but I hope this posting may help a bit in "connecting" communities, and that some of our members who are also Dyxum members will help building up this new collection as well.

Greetings,

Matthias
