comment: | When I bought the Minolta 7d in 2005 they included two lenses, the KM 17-35 and the KM 28-85. Both are rebadged Tamrons. The KM 17-35 is sharp with APS-C, however full frame it's little bit soft in the corners - 17mm, sharp at f8 - 20-30 mm, sharp at f4.5 - 35mm, sharp at f8 It's much and much better than the Tokina 19-35. Its sharper then the Minolta 20mm f2.8 prime |
