Minolta Maxxum Lenses & Cameras

Minolta made 4 different 50mm lenses. Minolta Maxxum 50mm f1.7 is the most common standard Minolta lens. Minolta Maxxum 50mm f1.4 is similar to the f1.7 but with a larger aperture and some say better image quality. Minolta Maxxum 50mm f2.8 macro. This slow focusing, close up lens is one of the sharpest lenses of [...]

I have been asked a number of questions about compatibility of old Minolta lenses and Sony dSLRs. It is always surprising to me since I think this compatibility is one the best selling points for the Alpha line. The answer is yes, in almost all cases. All Minolta auto-focus lenses are compatible without exception. The [...]

Minolta 80-200mm apo A great Minolta classic. It comes in two flavors, the older black version and the newer white, HS (high sped) that focuses slightly faster. A little difficult to find on the used market, but they are out there. If you find one in good condition and at a good price, don’t hesitate [...]

The Minolta “Secret Handshake” is the honorary name for the epic 28-135/4-4.5. This is one of my favorite outdoor zoom lenses. In my opinion the wide-end is adequate on APS (A100-A700) and 135mm fantastic. The range is superb on a full frame camera body (A850/900) of course. The unique rear focus mechanism is surprisingly fast [...]

In a word, yes. This is an excellent lens. Although the 24-50mm f4 is not as widely known as other great classic Minolta lenses, it is of the same class with many similar characteristics. By modern standards the focal length range may seem limiting — and it is compared to your $52 Sigron-super 14-650mm f8-11, [...]

This is an inexpensive alternative to the Minolta 100-400mm APO. Cosina makes lenses of a wide range of qualities, so it is hard to assess the lens having never used it. It also seems quite hard to find. US Auctions Australian Auctions Austrian Auctions Belgian Auctions Canadian Auctions French Auctions German Auctions Indian Auctions Irish [...]

The Minolta 100-300mm APO is a great compact telephoto zoom. There is a D and non-D model with little difference between them. ‘D’ simply means that it has the ADI feature, which is a distance encoding. More helpful for flash and wide-normal focal lengths.
