On what electronic camera will my Minolta film camera lenses fit?

I have Minolta film cameras Model SRT 303 and Model X 370 with a variety of bayonet mount lenses. Which electronic cameras have a similar bayonet mount that may enable me to use the lenses for taking digital photos?

    Unfortunately your lenses are not compatible with any modern DSLR camera. You could buy a Minolta SR to Sony A adapter. When Minolta introduced the Minolta Maxxum 7000 AF 35mm film camera in 1985 they abandoned the SR mount used on your SRT-303 and X-370 for the A mount which is still used by Sony.

    If you have a Minolta MD 17mm f4 ultra wide angle email me as I might be interested in making you an offer.

    None of them, unfortunately.

    While Minolta did market the first successful AF SLR, they had to develop a new lens mount to do it - Sony inherited Minolta's AF mount.

    Canon, of course, did exactly the same thing slightly later.
