MINOLTA ZOOM LENSES
Minolta made a wide selection of zoom lenses from the very beginning. The focal lengths run from 24mm to 500mm, and can be used to fit every possible purpose. All of the early lenses were produced in Minolta's own facotries. Some of the later zooms were made by other companies and sold with the Minolta name on them. Many of these were also sold by the manufacturing company under their own name, as well.
