Yes, by using mount adaptor. Lens need to focus manually only. Old Nikon lens aperture can be control but new ones will stop down to its maximum f.

I personally believe that manual focus and aperture "guessing" can be quite an interesting experience, a bit like "back the Photography old times" and you can learn a lot with the process.

By combining Nex-5 excellent sensor (especially if you are using DX lenses, because those lenses match the sensor size in a 1:1 proportion) with a very good nikkor quality glass, it can produce wonderful results.

Will lenses from 35MM camera work on newer DSLR cameras?

It depends on the brand of camera and the type of lens. Most Nikon film SLR lenses will work (in manual mode) on their digital SLR cameras. Many Canon lenses will work on new Canon SLR cameras, but you have to check compatability between the camera model and the type of lens. Sony purhcased the Minolta digital camera division, so all Sony Alpha DSLRs will use Minolta lenses.

What is better Sony T77 or Nikon S60?

Both are excellent cameras. The Sony is a continuation of the Minolta camera legacy, and all Minolta DSLR lenses (and some film lenses) will fit most Sonys. Nikon has probably the broadest range of available accessories; one major online vendor carries over 200 different Nikon lenses. If you plan to get into photography in a big way, Nikon is probably the best bet. Otherwise, either will do a good job for you. The writer is unbiased, as he uses Pentax cameras.

Does any dslr use minolta autofocus lens?

Yes, the SONY ALPHA series of DSLRs have the MINOLTA mount. When Sony took over the Minolta business line, they continued the proprietary MINOLTA lens mount and the Minolta flash shoe, which are unique- that is, ONLY A MINOLTA OR SONY LENS OR FLASH WILL FIT A SONY ALPHA camera. There might be some drawbacks, however. Depending on the focal length, year of production, number of electronic contacts, and type of Minolta AF lens (check the number of gold contacts on the side of the lens that goes into the camera), some of the lenses that have more that five (5) contacts might not work perfectly with the SONY Alpha camera. This is because most of the MINOLTA lenses with 7 or more contacts are POWER ZOOMS- that is, they zoom in and out if you twist the lens grip/ body under power from the camera. SONY has NOT continued this technology, and so the POWER ZOOM MINOLTA LENS will definitely not zoom in and out if mounted on a SONY ALPHA camera body. In its final years of production before the SONY takeover, MINOLTA made so many lenses with so many technological features (such as the POWER ZOOM) built into the lenses themselves. But don't worry...the best thing about having good old MINOLTA AF lenses is that they WILL fit a SONY ALPHA DLSR body. It's up to you to play with the combination of lenses and camera bodies to see what ANTIQUE (Minolta lens) you can still use with a SUPER NEW (Sony Alpha) camera. That's where most of the fun of photography is.
