| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Minolta 50mm f:1.7 AF same sharpness. |
| price paid: | $4.95 |
| positive: | Super sharp, super fast AF focusing, power zoom cheap build quality, BUT who cares! its focus sharpness is amazing and its so cheap, i paid $4.95 on eBay. Its very lightweight allowing my KM 7D to focus it fast. |
| negative: | Cheap ABS build quality, makes you think its a lousy lens, BUT its really great optics, MULTI-Coated optics. |
| comment: | there is no sharper lens for Minolta A mt. in AF for ridiculous little money....... I took a single close up of a red tulip, just one flower head insides and it was shockingly beautiful colors and sharpness. I think Minolta took a really bad Rap with its ABS construction lenses that may have cost them buyers for sure, But Minolta certainly didn't go cheap on the optical design. |
