When it comes to lenses that we can use on film cameras, so many great names come to mind: Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Leitz, Minolta, Zeiss - just to name a few! But one name that rarely comes up is Sony.

Well, here is my no-one-asked-for-it-but-im-doing-it-anyway attempt to rectify that! :) 0:00 Intro 01:05 A-mount: brief history 02:34 Enter Sony 04:09 Budget lenses? 05:09 'Easy Choice' range: overview 08:06 Why should anyone care? 10:32 Outro Check compatibility of your A-mount camera with SAM/SSM lenses here (scroll down to see the film models and pay attention to the 'comments' column for Dynax 9/9Ti): https://www.mhohner.de/sony-minolta/bodies.php?ssm=1 Come join me on...
