About the Minolta AF 50mm f/1.7

Introduced in 1985 with the Maxxum 7000, this autofocus 50mm f/1.7 uses the Minolta A-mount, so it also fits Sony Alpha A-mount DSLRs and SLTs without an adapter. Check that autofocus engages and for haze or fungus.

What affects the price

  • Fungus (web-like threads), haze or separation inside the glass. Shine a flashlight through the lens to check.
  • Oily or sticky aperture blades, and a smooth, even focus ring.
  • Scratches on the front element and cleaning marks. Light dust is normal and barely affects price.
  • Front and rear caps, the hood and the original box add a little; the mount matters most for who can use it.
