The Minolta AF 200mm f/2.8 APO G HS is a marvel of a lens indeed. It is sharp as a tack in the relevant aperture range and even superior to the current Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 APO G SSM. There's a visible amount of vignetting at f/2.8 but this is gone once you stop down a little bit. Distortions are not a relevant issue and neither are lateral CAs. The quality of bokeh is generally very good with only a minor weakness with respect to the highlight rendition. Bokeh fringing can be a problem at f/2.8 in certain situation but that's rather typical for a lens in this class.
Just like most of its G-class cousins, the build quality of the lens is on a professional level. Besides a metal body design it features a couple of goodies such as a retractable build-in lens hood (I always like this one), a focus limiter/hold, a slide-up cowling for the focus ring and it's compatible to the Sony/Minolta APO converters. The AF is certainly very fast albeit noisy due to the rather dated AF drive-screw mechanism.
So is it still worth it ? Well, definitely - highly recommended! And Sony .. please bring it back to us. It's really an easy win for you as well as your customers!
