Collectors Notes
Released in the late 1980s, this lens was part of Minolta’s original AF lineup for the A-mount system. Its optical design delivers sharp results with good contrast and minimal distortion. Compatible with all Minolta AF film bodies and Sony Alpha DSLRs with A-mount, it remains a desirable piece for collectors and users seeking classic Minolta glass with autofocus convenience.
