There are those that say why would you put a 30 year old lens on a modern camera? The answer is simple. This Minolta 24mm 2.8 lens was way ahead of its time and is still a great value. First of all it is an all metal lens. Enough said. It has no motor, this minimizes breakdown. I believe this lens will outlive me. Second, the VR and focusing motor and VR control is built into the camera body. This makes this 30 year old glass VR capable and it focuses fast and accurately. Does it auto focus slower than the newer Sony glass? I can't tell, for my purposes, it focuses fast enough. I own a Sony A77II and Sony A99 and both allow very fast auto focusing, even though their are only 5 contact points on the Minolta glass vs the 8 contact points on the newer Sony lenses. The 5 points on the Minolta lenses have seemingly no effect on auto focus speed, VR, or flash exposure, the lens works great. Third, there is something special about the color you get from these older Minolta lenses. Only folks who shoot these lenses will understand what I just said about the unique color produced by these lenses. If you do not own one, you should. Lastly, the value of this glass, the fact that you can own one for under $130.00 is amazing.Read full review

The quality of Minolta lenses has always been excellent. While this lens is vintage, it’s still competes with similar models available today. At a fraction of the cost.
