Re: Introducing LA-EA5 | Mount Adaptor | Sony | Accessory


I haven't seen anything by the Minolta 100mm F2 that can't be matched by the Canon EF 100mm F2 USM. Maybe higher quality control? Their respective reputations are certainly very different. The Canon is routinely dismissed while the Minolta is revered.

My copy of the Canon is very sharp, focuses very quickly, and is/was considerably less expensive. The Minolta is heavier and longer despite the lack of motors or distance encoder. The Minolta also extends to focus. The Canon is still a current product.
