Re: Minolta - Konica Minolta Lens Reputations/Recommendations

Lenses of high quality do not come cheap, that also applies to Minolta lenses.

From all the Minolta AF lenses I have, the 80-200mm F2.8 HS APO G and the 85mm F1.4 are by far the best. Then the 100mm F2.8 Macro D follows.

The 135mm F2.8 is also a nice little lens, not so expensive and delivers great quality.

Another fun lens is the 500mm F8 Reflex. A lot of reach in a small and portable package. Beware that, due to the F8, it needs a lot of light since the 7D will not do so well above ISO800.
