By on

A new Konica Minolta lens patent spotted by Egami. The new patent describes a Konica Minolta 18-35mm f/2.0-2.8 lens designed for APS-C based mirrorless cameras.

The new Konica Minolta 18-35mm f/2.0-2.8 lens seems to be an excellent choice for APS-c sensor Sony E-mount cameras such as the popular A6000 model.
