PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This Minolta Maxxum AF 100mm f/2.8 is a macro lens for all Minolta MAXXUM and Sony Alpha cameras. It is insanely sharp and has the lowest distortion I've ever measured in a macro lens: zero at every distance!Used on today's Sony A99 it has image stabilization and ultra-fast autofocus.
It does the same thing as Sony's 100mm f/2.8 Macro for less than half the price.The Minolta 100/2.8 is the world's first 100mm autofocus macro lens, introduced a year after the world's first AF SLR, the Minolta MAXXUM 7000. This is also the world's first 100mm lens that can focus directly to life-size (1:1) without adapters. It took Canon and Nikon each four years to catch up, in 1990!
The all-metal Minolta 100mm f/2.8 works perfectly on today's Sony A99, except that the AF-D Depth Map AF (whatever that is) and the automatic lens corrections don't work. So what, the images look fantastic and everything else works, like face recognition and all the focus modes including Direct Manual Focus (DMF) override, so all is well.It's all solid alloy and much better made than Nikon's similar 105mm f/2.8 AF Micro. which didn't come out until 1990.
This Minolta 100 2.8 Macro has an all-metal exterior, metal mount, metal focus ring, metal filter threads, and an all-metal barrel. The only plastic is the focus window, the red mounting dot and the rubber grip.This is a full-frame lens for 35mm film and full-frame digital, and will be reviewed thusly. Feel free to use this on cropped-frame cameras, too, on which it will give even closer apparent results.

Medium Format
Medium format refers to the size of your roll of film (or if you’re talking digital, it’s the size of the camera sensor). It really just means that you are shooting on a bigger piece of film than you do with a 35mm camera. The increased size of medium format film means a much larger negative. This will give you finer details and less grain.
Choosing your Right Medium Format Camera
Twin Lens Reflex (TLRS)
TLRs use two objective lens of the same focal length. The photographic objective lens is the one that is used to take the picture. The other lens, called the view lens, is connected to the viewfinder. Most TLRs are fixed focal length, and the more expensive models may incorporate a rudimentary room function. Most TLRs use a leaf shutter system, resulting in high speeds, quiet operation and low shutter vibration. There are also close-up, wide angle and telephoto adapters for TLRs.
Some popular TLRS cameras are: Yashica MAT-124G, Rolleiflex 2.8F, Minolta Autocord and Mamiya C330
Rangefinder
Rangefinder cameras are medium format cameras with a range finder. This negates the waistline, viewing that most TLRs carry. They are also much smaller than TLRs, and allow for easier point and shoot photographs. They tend to have limited focusing ranges, and do not have lenses larger than 180mm or 200mm. Rangefinders are quieter and easier to focus in dim light. They are mostly fixed lens models, but higher range models also provide for interchangeability.
Some popular rangefinder cameras are: Fujica G690, Mamiya 6/7, Bronica RF645, Norita 66 and Pentax 67
