Minolta 50mm (Sony fit)

Hi all,
I'm currently looking to buy the minolta f1.7 AF at the price of £80. Used in excellent condition with no scratches or fungus, is this a reasonable price.

I would say that's about right

 

[collins82002]

Yeah It seems right give or take a tenner

Picked mine up with a bag and a 28-80 (later sold for £20) for £80, so yes, they do come up about that price.

The price is about right for a good sample. I picked up mine for £50 before prices went crazy once people realised they could used Minolta lenses on their new Sony Alphas Btw it's a craking lens for the money!

Its a great lens Chris well worth 80 squids

Just slightly curious without sounding thick but is there any difference or is it the same. There is one for sale but the description reads minolta maxxum f1.7 AF. Is this same as the other minolta's for sale.

Yes it's more or less the same. £80 is probably one in a very very good condition. Any more you'll be adventuring into the 50mm 1.8 DT lens price range.

if it's a lattest RS + super mint etc, then yes. otherwise - about 65-70.

Looking through flee-bay and the minolta f1.7AF lens is between £80-£90. Thanks for feed back peeps.

'Maxxum' was the branding Minolta used in the USA. It simply means the lens was originally sold in the USA, but is optically the same.
