| comment: | I very heavy lens, but with the same quality!! ;-) Not so fast AF, robust construction! compare to the SAL70400 G this AF speed is "slow" (edit 30-01-2011) It arrived 2-hands in the original box, as new...... thanks to www.dieters-foto-shop.de In combination with the Minolta converter 2x apo AF type II gives from f7.1 very good image-quality....the AF works, but much slower ...with the convertor manual focussing is almost impossible. With the Minolta type II AF APO 2X there is a serious lost of scharpness.... With the SAL14TC, it's ok, but still not that ... For my the lens combination for sport and nature. |
