| comment: | true masterpiece :-) whoever engineered this lens within Minolta company was real lens Maker it is just joy to use, for portraits, snapshots, landscapes or candits - all the time delivers stunning results negatives: - I have experienced some flare which occured while shooting during night into some intesivly lit areas (e.g. from a street lamp) - I feel sometimes limited by its MFD, especially for facial portraits, however it is easily overcome by mounting 12mm extension tube (although you loose temporarily infinity focus which you don`t need for portraits anyway) all in all: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ! |
