Minolta AF 20mm f/2.8 - Sony A Mount

The Minolta AF 20mm f/2.8 is a wide-angle prime lens for the Sony A-mount (and older Minolta AF) system. It offers a 94-degree angle of view, making it an excellent choice for landscape, architecture, and interior photography. The lens features a rear-focusing system to maintain performance at close distances and has a dedicated petal-type hood. Its compact size and solid construction make it a practical wide-angle option for full-frame digital or film SLR bodies. Used examples should be checked for the 'oily aperture blade' issue common to older Minolta AF lenses, which can lead to slow or sticking diaphragms. SDS inspects the internal rear-focusing elements for dust and ensures the autofocus drive screw shows no excessive wear. The front element is somewhat exposed due to its wide design, so the glass is checked thoroughly for cleaning marks or scratches. Compatibility with modern Sony mirrorless cameras via LA-EA series adapters is generally excellent.
