This is a standard zoom lens that was released in 2000 along with the Minolta α-7. It's a convenient zoom lens because it starts at a wide angle of 24mm. On an APS-C camera, it becomes a zoom lens equivalent to 36mm–157mm on a 35mm film camera, making it a lens that can be used for telephoto shots. The lens has no mold or haze, but there is some dust inside that doesn't affect the photos. The autofocus, aperture operation, and zoom operation all work well. Photos 11 and 12 are samples taken with an α200. When used on a full-frame camera, there is some vignetting at the wide end, but the color reproduction is good, and I think you can take photos with a good sense of resolution even when using it digitally. Included accessories are the lens hood and lens caps (F, R). Here are some specifications: Compatible Mount: Minolta A-mount Focal Length: 24–105 mm Filter Diameter: 62 mm Maximum Diameter x Length: 71 x 69 mm Weight: 395 g
