| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | 28-105xi, 100-300, 100-300APO, 80-200 F2.8 |
| price paid: | Ł55 sterling (s/h) |
| positive: | Excellent zoom range on one lens from Minolta. Optics are clear. |
| negative: | Power zoom is far too slow. Manual focusing is nigh on impossible |
| comment: | Good for the range, but I suspect most people will get fed up with the slow zoom. I've relegated it to my 'in car' 35mm camera. If I'm somewhere without the rest of my kit and I see a photo opportunity, it has the range to capture most subjects |
