The lens has been fitted (reversed) on the Sony. The old shiny metal Minolta MD mount faces outwards as the macro lens objective.
So how does this perform? My guess by comparison with a 1:1 macro lens is that it supplies a roughly 3:1 macro image, i.e. a magnification of 3X a 1:1 macro image.
The next photograph (click this link) shows a full size image of part of a two pound (UK) coin.
This clickable link takes you back to the image of the lens on the Minolta camera.

Undated & nothing on reverse by way of a photographer's name etc.
I can identify both Württemberger and Prussian soldiers amongst this lot by the cockades on their caps. The dog's place of origin remains a mystery.
Flanking the main body are two men wearing pickelhaubes from Landsturm Infantry Battalion 37 (Burg).
Of note is the Senior NCO's gorget, commonly associated with Feldgendarmerie units. See next image for an enlargement.
