| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sony Zeiss 16-80, Minolta 100-200 F4.5 |
| price paid: | 130 USD (ebay) |
| positive: | solid construction. Its 70 mm low end puts it into the portrait range and it is very sharp. |
| negative: | Heavy and big. Has some chromatic aberration. |
| comment: | Will be selling my Minolta 100-200. This lens beats it for sharpness all the way though, and the low end 70mm is useful for portraits. This lens is sharper than the Zeiss at 75mm for both, I tested them at F4.5 and F7.1. I will be keeping this one for a long time unless the weight begins to bother me more than I think. |
