List of Minolta A-mount lenses


and Konica Minolta released the following lenses for Minolta A-mount cameras between 1985 and 2006.
While most auto-focus lens designs were new developments, some optical constructions were derived from Minolta SR-mount lenses. When Sony took over the system in 2006, 18 lenses were reintroduced as Sony A-mount lenses. Of those, most lenses are optically, mechanically and electrically identical to their Minolta predecessors and differ only in their outer appearance, however, three have seen subtle changes in the optics and electro-mechanics.
All Minolta and Konica Minolta A-mount lenses are compatible with Sony A-mount cameras.
Up into the mid 1990s, A-mount lenses for the North American market were engraved Maxxum AF rather than just AF. Although some buyers associated either the Maxxum AF or the AF designation with a higher quality, both types of lenses were built to exactly the same specifications and quality standards in the factory, and were only used to improve trackability and dry out the gray market. They differed only in their name plate and part numbers. A similar scheme had been used by Minolta in the 1960s and 1970s with their Rokkor and Rokkor-X SR-mount lens designations. The Maxxum AF lenses introduced in 1985 originally used a "crossed XX" font, which was soon dropped by Minolta after a trademark lawsuit with Exxon.
