PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
The Minolta MAXXUM AF 85mm f/1.4 is a fast, short tele ideal for close-in people photos. At f/1.4, it is superb at throwing distracting elements out-of-focus, with rendition optimized for people pictures.It's all solid alloy and much better made than Nikon's similar lenses.
 
This Minolta 85 1.4 has an all-metal exterior, metal mount, metal focus ring, metal filter threads, and all-metal barrel. The only plastic is the focus window, the red mounting dot and the rubber.It was originally released for use on Minolta MAXXUM cameras, and today is perfect for use on Sony Alpha cameras (AF with Sony E/FE Mount bodies through the LA-EA3/4 Adapters)
 
Used on today's Sony A99 it has image stabilization and fast autofocus.It works perfectly on the Sony A99, although the AF-D Depth Map AF (whatever that is) and the automatic lens corrections don't work - and aren't needed. Everything else works, like face recognition and all the focus modes including Direct Manual Focus (DMF) override, so all is well.
 
This $700 all-metal lens takes the same pictures as Zeiss's $1,700 85mm f/1.4.There is no instant manual-focus override in the lens itself, although the Sony A99's DMF mode will give you that feature.
 
This is the world's first autofocus ultra-speed tele. Nikon didn't copy it until almost ten years later in 1995!This is a spectacular show-off lens for Minolta. No newer 85mm lens from anyone will make pictures any better than will this lens.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.
