Minolta AF Maxxum (Sony Alpha)

 17-35mm f/2.8-4 D  


Wide Angle Zoom Lens


 

Mint Condition


 

 

The Minolta 17-35mm D zoom is a great lens in its own right and offers unparalleled value in a wide angle zoom. Minolta thought so highly of it that they offered it as the “kit” lens for the KM 7D when it was released. It is a perfect lens for both aps-c and full frame sensor DSLRs and there is nothing else like it short of the Zeiss 16-35/2.8 at $1000 or the Minolta wide zoom G lens. Granted those lenses are in a different class altogether, but for less than ¼ the price, this lens is no slouch!


 

This Sony Alpha mount lens will require an adapter for use with Sony E mount camera bodies.


 

This lens (S/N 104329xx) in mint condition with no appreciable wear. There is no wear to the lens cosmetics and enamel that I can detect, even under close inspection. The caps look equally fine.


 

The glass is absolutely pristine. It is free of any imperfection including fungus, coating blemishes, dust or scratches. The aperture blades are oil free and snappy and the 8-pin contact mount is unmarked. Internal focus (IF) is smooth and quick.


 

Zoom and focus action are smooth, and the zoom has a nice, deliberate movement, like a new lens, not sloppy and loose when rotating.


 

The lens incorporates ADI “advanced distance integration” for more accurate flash exposures. It has a very short MFD of just 12” and wide max. apertures. Add IF for easy polarizer use and you can see that Minolta really designed a winner at an affordable price point.


 

Included is a pinch style Konica Minolta front cap and rear lens caps (the nice ones).
