Minolta — V 28-56mm f/4-5.6 AF standard zoom for Vectis APS cameras

Minolta released the V 28-56mm f/4-5.6 in 1996 as the standard zoom for its Vectis APS-film SLR system, launched alongside the Vectis S-1 body. The V-mount was Minolta's only new lens mount built for the short-lived Advanced Photo System, and this lens served as the everyday kit zoom before the system was discontinued as APS film declined.

Focal length of 28-56mm gives roughly a 35-70mm field of view once the smaller APS frame's approximate 1.25x crop is accounted for. The lens has a variable f/4-5.6 maximum aperture closing to f/22, a 40.5mm filter thread, a minimum focus distance of 0.35m, autofocus operation, and a compact plastic body weighing around 117g.

Built to a price for an entry-level APS system, it uses a mostly plastic barrel and mount rather than the metal construction of Minolta's A-mount lenses, and its modest maximum aperture keeps the package light. As a standard zoom it covers everyday framing from moderately wide to short telephoto.

Because the Vectis system sold in low numbers and APS film is now hard to source and process, this lens mostly interests collectors of Minolta's APS-era gear rather than active shooters. It has no use on 35mm or digital cameras since the V-mount is specific to Vectis bodies, so check the plastic mount tabs for wear.
