I have accumulated several Minolta Maxxum cameras, of late. I had always assumed that all the AF lenses were interchangable, except for the xi series that had a built in zoom motor. The two Minolta lenses work on all the cameras, but the Sigma, Quantaray, and Tokina do not work on every camera. With one Sigma lens, on the 7000i, the camera won't even turn on. With a different Sigma on the same camera, it works fine. There are too many combinations to list here, but I made a reference chart to keep myself sane.
Has anyone else had this issue? I thought that as long as the lens had the same number of contacts, they would work.

The only problems I've had with mine is tight fitting.

It isn't really the number of contacts, some of the lenses use a non compatible chip. I use 5 contact Minolta and Sigma lenses on the A200 all the time, they just don't have the distance function for the flash. Sigma was rechipping their products but that was a long time ago.
