Description from the seller
Minolta AF Zoom 35-70mm f/4 standard zoom lens (Sony/Minolta A mount), tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Minolta AF Zoom 35-70mm f/4, from 1985, is a compact constant-aperture standard zoom introduced alongside the pioneering Minolta AF (A-mount) system. Well-built and sharp, it is a handy everyday lens for A-mount film and digital bodies.
Mount & Compatibility
IMPORTANT — This is a screw-drive Sony/Minolta A-mount autofocus lens with NO built-in motor. Autofocus requires a camera body with a built-in AF motor (Minolta/Konica Minolta/Sony A-mount bodies).
On Sony E-mount mirrorless it requires a Sony LA-EA adapter; screw-drive autofocus is supported only with adapters that include a built-in AF motor (LA-EA2 / LA-EA4, or LA-EA5 on supported bodies). With other adapters it is manual focus only.
Condition: Used — Excellent +5
Pre-owned with very beautiful optics.
