Sony rebadged a dozen A-mount Minolta AF lenses, added a few of their own, and a couple of teleconverters for use on the Sony Alpha DSLRs when they bought into the brand.
The compact and well-built 7-element lens in 6 groups with 7 aperture blades has a plastic exterior, a metal mount, and a metal focusing ring. The lens, Minolta's best dedicated macro lens, focuses continuously from infinity to 1:1 life-size.
On the Sony DSLR-A350, the lens is equivalent to a 75mm short tele, ideal for portrait photography. The focal length allows for good subject-background separation, the essence of aesthetically pleasing portraits. The colors on this first impression image look great, with bokeh and sharpness equally in tandem.
The 14.2MP CCD Sony DSLR-A350, introduced in 2008, has the AF system from the A700 and Eye-start AF (as in the A100 and A200) and a unique Live View system that allows photographers to preview and compose images in real-time on the camera's display or electronic viewfinder (EVF).
The camera also comes with a pop-up flash, an articulating LCD screen, an electronically controlled vertical traverse focal plane shutter with a speed range from 30 to 1/4000 seconds, plus B, 1200-zone evaluative metering, Dynamic Range Optimization, and Super SteadyShot with sensor-shift image stabilization. The ISO speed range is from 100 to 3,200.
