I shoot on Minolta 24 f2.8 on crop camera it is resonable good lens.
There is legendary and very rare and expensive Minolta 28/2.
For wider options if i am not wrong there is 25/2.8 Zeiss Distagon ZS (M42 version) - no AF, but i think it smaller than 24/2.
Or Sony/Minolta 20/2.8.[/quote]
The Minolta 20/2.8 sounds good on paper (small and light) but the few reviews I've seen online are less than exhilarating. Is the Sony version any better?
And if I'll go with Zeiss, it'll be either 21/2.8 or, more probably, the 18/3.5. But if I give up AF the Zuiko 21/2 or 18/3.5 are my prime candidates. They are so small....

About Tamron 60/2. I think Sony/Minolta 50/1.4 focusing much quicker than Tamron and reasonable sharp too from F2. Also There is perfect on aps-c sensors Sigma 50 F1.4 HSM with fast and silent focusinh[/quote]
AF speed is important to me but so is the macro capability. I have the Canon 60/2.8 which I love and use a lot. One stop faster and AS will be very welcomed.
