While we have long since gotten rid of most of our camera equipment, every so often I still find buried treasure lurking in the closet.
Today I came across a Minolta AF 50mm f1.4 lens that survived the great maxxum purge of...well, I don't remember when, it's been a while.
If my Google-fu is not off base, it seems that this Minolta mount is the same as the Sony a mount, a full frame lens, and will function on Sony FX and DX DSLRs, as well as NEX cameras with an adapter that still allows AF to work.
Also said to work on Sonys full frame mirrorless with an adapter with functioning AF.
The only caveat I could find is that the AF-D depth map AF and automatic lens correction won't work with this lens.
(This is a Sony feature I'm unfamiliar with)
Interestingly enough, this funny little lens has a built in telescoping lens hood.
Anyway...
Anyone here shoot sony that could weigh in on this? I don't have any sony or Minolta cameras.
Mine is the original 1985-1990 model.
Except for some wear on the rubber that only goes halfway around the lens, it is in excellent condition.
