compared to: | Minolta 2.0/100 Minolta 2.8/200 APO Sigma 2.8/90 Macro |
price paid: | missing |
positive: | Cheap, light, small Good build and optical quality Quick and accurate AF |
negative: | Nothing |
comment: | I bought it app. 14 years ago, and still consider it one of my favorites that goes everywhere with me. The build-in hood controls the else existing flare very well. Some softness is visible at f2.8 when using it with the A700 but not with KM7D. This is no issue from f4 onwards. Much quicker AF than the Sigma 2.8/90 Macro (with limiter) and quicker than Minolta 2.0/100. |
