[QUOTE="Brian, post: 252685, member: 17621"] You need to find out which series lens they are, Minolta had a number of variations in their AF series of lenses. Manual focus- completely different mount. Late 80s, puts it at first generation AF lenses which were made concurrently with MD series manual lenses. Minolta lenses are very good, same caliber as Nikon, "Almost". The Minolta 50/1.4 Manual focus lens is center-sharp, edges "not so much". Wide-open, converted to Leica mount, on the M8 which is 1.3x crop.
