In 2003 Minolta launched the first SAM/SSM-type lenses which have an internal autofocus motor drive instead of being focused by the camera's AF motor. SSM is the silent variant. The Sony α system took over the two conceptions, moving lens production more and more towards SAM/SSM lenses.

Konica Minolta

In 2003 Minolta joined forces with Konica.

New were the following:

  • Minolta AF 300mm f/4 Apo G (D) SSM
  • Minolta AF 28-100mm f/3.5-5.6 (D)
  • Minolta AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Apo G (D) SSM
  • Konica Minolta AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4 (D)
  • Konica Minolta AF 28-75mm f/2.8 (D)

The Konica Minolta DSLRs 7D and 5D and the first products of the DT series of lenses for APS-C image frame format probably were already planned by Minolta.

  • Konica Minolta AF 11-18mm f/4.5-5.6 DT
  • Konica Minolta AF 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 DT
  • Konica Minolta AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DT

The last camera of that series was the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 of 2006. Some call it "the last Minolta". From then the whole system was continued as digital camera system, as Sony α system, i.e. its DSLR and SLT cameras. Sony's system comprises beside common Sony lenses two high-end lens lines, the Sony G lenses and the Zeiss lenses.
