I have an idea that I used when I bought my A99. I went to ebay and bought old Minolta AF lenses, a 20 2.8, 24 2.8, 28 2.8, a 50 and 100 mm micro, a 50 1.4, I also bought the Minolta 200mm 2.8. These lenses will never wear out, all metal construction and work perfectly on your camera. They are inexpensive and sharp, sharp, sharp. Buy mint if you can, you will be happy.
Don't forget the 70-210 F4. You can get one for around $100 and is as good as any 70-200 out there.
