Minolta made 200mm lenses in a variety of f-stops:

It's like they couldn't make up their mind. The f5.0 and f4.5 versions were always designed for the cost-conscious. The f4.0 & 3.5 are a compromise. The f2.8 models are larger & heavier, but produce great results..

The competition

There are a few 200mm f2.8 lenses you can choose from. The only ones you should consider are the Soligor and the Sigma versions.
