Any suggestion for good Sony A/Minolta lenses to use with my A7

[plamen_gb]

I've been buying some lenses since I got my af adapter and I was wondering if you have any other suggestions in terms of lenses. All I have now is:

Minolta 17-35 F/2.8-4
Tokina 19-35
Sigma 105 F/2.8 DG OS
Minolta 50 F/1.7
Minolta 28mm F/2.8

Looks like you like wide aperture lenses, and are fairly well covered for shorter focal lengths. How about the Minolta 80-200mm f2.8?

I was thinking about it, have you owned one and if you can share some info how the lens behaved and if you know any reason it is better than the Sigma 70-200 F/2.8.

I've got one, impressed by it, know of no reason it could be better than the Sigma, but it was a lot cheaper than a second hand Sigma, which I couldn't afford

If your looking for something in the 200mm ish range and don't "need" f2.8 then the venerable "Beercan" seems to perform quite well according to a few reviews I've seen.

Which particular Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 are you looking at?
The current EX DG HSM OS looks to be highly rated on Dyxum (http://www.dyxum.com/lenses/index.asp).

Minolta 200 2.8 prime lens - a stunner
Minolta 28/35/100 F2 triplets all very sharp
Any of the ZA Lenses although these are pricey.
Minolta/Sony 20 2.8 is highly regarded
Minolta 135 2.8 is a pocket rocket
