Description — Minolta 100-400mm f/4.5-6.7
The Minolta AF 100-400mm f/4.5-6.7 APO Tele Zoom is a full-frame telephoto zoom lens built for the Sony A (Minolta A-mount) system. It spans a 100–400mm focal length range with a maximum aperture of f/4.5 at the wide end, tapering to f/6.7 at full extension. Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, offering flexibility whether you are tracking a moving subject or fine-tuning focus precisely.
The 72mm filter thread keeps accessory options broad and accessible. Weighing in at 840g, the lens strikes a manageable balance between reach and portability. It is important to note that this lens carries no image stabilization, so stable shooting technique or external support is recommended at longer focal lengths.
As a full-frame design, it provides complete coverage on both full-frame and APS-C A-mount cameras.
