| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Minolta 28-80 II kit |
| price paid: | 25 USD |
| positive: | -stupid sharp -cheap -found everywhere -weighs nothing -Quick focusing -focus ring is pretty beefy and rubberized |
| negative: | -short focal range -49mm filter thread (easily solved with a 49->52, 55, etc. adapter ring) |
| comment: | Shot on Kodak Portra 160VC and 400VC with a Minolta Maxxum 4. Nothing touches it in the bang per buck department, if I was shooting pro-anything with an Alpha mount I would definitely have one of these in the bag. Super sharp AND cheap. Next to no CA even when shot wide open. |
