positive: | + Sharp + Minolta Colors + Build Quality + Fast AF + Bokeh |
negative: | - Flare - CA even if stopped down to f11 |
comment: | I found a practically unused lens. The flare control and CA is a joke for a lens with this reputation. Flares can be tamed with an aftermarket hood but this stops you from using a filter to protect that delicate glass. However, in the right conditions, this is probably one of the best lenses ever made. |
