You should be able to find one in EC on eBay for that much. On the other hand, my 75-300 was rated as 'ugly' and there isn't a thing wrong with it. Usedphotopro usually has a bunch of A-Mounts in stock. Another place to check is Camera Exchange in Michigan.Appreciate the additional info. Don't think I've ever seen an AF reflex...will definitely keep an eye out for that! Sounds like fun. I just checked MPB and KEH and found one copy of the 28-135. It was listed as bargain for $80+.
The 500/8 Minolta was the only 35mm AF Reflex ever made, save the Sony version which was the exact same lens rebranded. Minolta made a 400 too, but it was for that APS film system. Mine was purchased in LN condition with case/caps/hood and both filters. They were sold with 2 rear filters, a clear and an ND that got you to f/16. If you buy one, make sure it has at least the clear filter. You need a filter installed to close-off the opening in the lens. I have heard they work ok with just electrical tape over the opening, but can't attest to it.
Avoid that 35-80 like it has the plague.
