Sony 50mm prime

[Byron Lentz]

I am wanting to get my daughter a 50mm f1.8 prime lens, for her Sony A100 but not having much luck for fewer than 150.00, any suggestions?:mad2:

The Minolta AF 50mm f/1.7 often goes for <$100 on ebay. - TF

Yep, what he clicker said... Common price goes up to about $130 for excellent conditioned ones, but if you look carefully, and check out some of the Minolta film camera auctions you can find them for less...

Picked mine up for $50, but that was just when KM were releasing their first DSLRs, and they appeared to be a dead end... Wish I had grabbed more lenses back then...

Also check KEH.com in their used lens section. At least through them you have a better option to return if you aren't happy with the lens, and their ratings are very good... If it says it's in good shape, you can be sure it is... Usually.. ;)
