It certainly gives a lot WRT value-for-money and weight and size are exactly what I'm after but [url="http://www.kurtmunger.com/minolta_af_24mm_f_2_8_reviewid218.html"]IQ isn't that great[/url]. Oh, and the main thing I lust for wider aperture is less DoF. High ISO and AS can't help here.
If one may dream of a slightly larger A77 in the not-so-distant future, the 11-16/2.8 and 24/2 suddenly become very attractive propositions.....

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.
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
