The Minolta 100mm F/2.8 Macro lens and 20mm F/2.8 lens are two lenses that I find I use somewhat frequently with my A7RIV and LE-EA5 adapter. Neither are lenses that I use enough to pay a fortune for an FE version but these A-Mount lenses give me VERY nice results!

I haven't found any use for the wider angle Minolta/Sony zooms since I did invest in a 24-105 F/4 FE lens which is my goto lens.  I don't take enough telephoto shots to justify the cost of a FE telephoto zoom so I am experimenting with various Minolta Telephoto zooms... including a Beercan which I have owned for 35 years but had forgotten how heavy it is!
