Minolta Maxxum Dynax
Posted on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 in Photography
What lens should I get for my Minolta?
I have a Konica Minolta Dynax 5d (Maxxum 5d in some places). I used to have a lens that suited me, but then it stopped working and since then I've been using a macro lens which is extremely annoying, so I decided to buy a new one. However, I'm not too experienced when it comes to lenses, so I would like your opinion on which bayonet A lenses are good and not too expensive. I mainly take pictures of people and places.
I've heard that Tamron lenses are quite good, but I still can't choose anything because I don't know that to look for.
Hmm well I guess my budget is about $400-450. No more than 500, that's for sure.
The Minolta 18-70mm is cheap, it might even be the one that you had. They go for very little on eBay.
If you want to do low-light and portraits, then consider the Minolta 50mm f1.7, it is not a zoom lens though, but is sharp and gives good brokeh (blurry background).
If you want something longer, but still cheap, then the Minolta 75-300mm will do you.
