ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Minolta 35-70 f4 |
price paid: | Ł19 |
positive: | SHARP!!!! Typical Minolta Colours Inexpensive |
negative: | Some slight CA in difficult lighting conditions |
comment: | This lens suffers badly in the ratings due to the sentiment over the build of the original Minolta AF lenses. Got two copies of this lens, first and second version. Both are solid, zoom action smooth... do what they were designed to do. Nothing else you can say. |
