When Sony took over the system in 2006, 18 lenses were reintroduced as Sony A-mount lenses.

Although some buyers associated either the Maxxum AF or the AF designation with a higher quality, both types of lenses were built to exactly the same specifications and quality standards in the factory, and were only used to improve trackability and dry out the gray market. They differed only in their name plate and part numbers (????-1?? for AF, ????-6?? for Maxxum AF). A similar scheme had been used by Minolta in the 1960s and 1970s with their Rokkor and Rokkor-X SR-mount lens designations.
