From the available specs and reported image results, they appear to be effectively the same lens. There’s no clear evidence in the provided information that Sony changed the optical formula, autofocus system, or construction in any meaningful way beyond branding.

Without a side-by-side teardown, no one can be 100% certain about minor internal manufacturing differences, but based on published specifications and user comparisons, the Sony version is extremely likely to be a straight continuation of the Minolta design.

So in practical terms, choose based on condition, price, and sample quality rather than expecting performance differences between the Minolta and Sony versions.
