Minolta AF 135mm f/2.8 - Sony A Mount

The Minolta AF 135mm f/2.8 is a compact prime lens for the Sony/Minolta A-mount system. It is notable for its built-in telescopic lens hood and a relatively fast aperture for its size, making it an excellent choice for candid portraiture and indoor sports. The lens uses a simple but effective optical formula that produces high contrast and pleasant background blur. Check used copies for the condition of the built-in hood, which can sometimes become loose or rattle. The autofocus is driven by the camera body's motor, so ensure the screw-drive coupling is not worn. SDS tests the aperture for oil and ensures the autofocus mechanism engages correctly, while also checking the internal elements for any signs of coating degradation or fungus.
