I have recently become the owner of 3 lenses from a 35mm Minolta camera
markings as they read are AF28 Lens Minolta logo 1:2.8 (22), AF50 Lens Minolta logo 1:17 (22)

75-300 Sigma Minolta .....When looking this one up on the internet the only ones with the same lined grip which circles the main body is a APO but it doesnt have APO written on it, nor does it have the Minolta white circle logo. But it does have Sigma and a tiny M that stands out from the rubber on the opposite side of the barrel to the Sigma sign

I was going to trade these in as i want t get a semi pro Nikon or Canon.
I have spent a few nights on shoots with a friend and i've a great passion brewing in me to get started.

Sadly im not in the position to go in on a low price camera and buy again in 6 months, i just wont have the money then. .....(As My loft contents is already on ebay )

I see so many people selling soon after pruchase and taking quiet a knock with what they paid.
I would much preffer to go in and be set and with a camera Body that can stay with me for a long time.

If anyone has any knowledge of how these lenses may be used on other cameras even if a mount changer is needed that would be great. Also what model numbers.

Im hoping this information may save me forking out for lenses at the start as ive been offered £100 trade in for them all and lenses are going to cost me alot more than that.

Thank you in advance
from a newbie

I bought a Minolta & lenses back in the mid eighties, I still use the lenses with My Sony, so no they have not changed.

I know they work on the Alpha range, had hoped to go Canon realy.
Thanks for you replys.
£100 better than nothing.
Ive noticed they go quiet high on Ebay but you need a good rating as a trusted seller.

Thanks Guys

Hope to pop back once im fully loaded
