| comment: | I use this on my sony a380 i had the sigma 70-300dg before and this is far far better , lighter sharper and give better colour and alot less cro/ab.The sigma kicks ass on the macro front i do miss that alot,but on the whole the minolta is a superb len,s and i dont think in the price range for a 75-300mm zoom you will find a sharper one . My mate has the shockinly poor tamron 70-300 the cro/ab and flair are nasty ,if you must buy a new lens for your sony , get the 75-300 sal its this rebaged ,or the sigma ,the tamron is awfull.Id recomend this len,s all day long to anyone on a budget,its a good zoom even stays quite sharp at 300mm ,i tend to use mine around the f8 mark or above but will retune a nice image at f5.6 upto 200mm.Anyway under £100 its a very good len,s.As for the poor af manual focus it works a treat nice big focus ring on it too ,JOB DONE . |
