| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Minolta 35-70 Minolta 50 1.7 Sony 18-70 Beercan |
| price paid: | 50 USD |
| positive: | Sharp, classic minolta colors. Inexpensive. |
| negative: | My particular copy has a stiff zoom, feels tight...guess its the opposite of zoom creep. |
| comment: | This lense spends most of its time on my A850. It just feels natural there. I have used it on my A550 as well. I've been pleased with the quality of the pictures - they are sharp and filled with color. As noted in my negative comment, my copy feels tight when adjusting the zoom. It doesn't have the silky feel that the beercan does. I'd like to get a chance to compare this second generation 35-105 Minolta maxxum lens to the first generation. The build feels solid, but not quite as rugged as the first generation. |
