While I was out looking at possible adapters for Minolta lenses to Canon EOS bodies, I ran across Jim Buchanan. His adapters seem very popular. I haven’t used them, but I found a several positive mentions of his work on forums.

Here is Jim Buchanan’s site. I’ll let you know if I end up using him.

I found this video showing the conversion of Minolta lenses to work on Canon EOS cameras. Here he is converting a Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50 1.4.
