comment: | Highly recommended lens, if you have money go and buy 80-200f2.8 but for about 130 usd this is exellent lens. Build like tenk, heavy and slow but beautiful colors and sharp. Must be honest with you, much better results on FF |

comment: | Don't buy this lens for the optics, but rather for the feeling you get when holding and using this lens. It takes you back to a time (at least for me) when things were a lot simpler, were made to last and quality was an integral part of photo equipment. This lens is pleasurable to use and reminds me of my early days in photography when I began to 'see' things through the lens that were not visible otherwise.. The photos I've taken are not the sharpest but with every snap I'm rewarded with a glimpse of the past.... UPDATE :: Feb 2014 Sold the beercan after buying a Tamron 70-300 USD for a good price. Overall, the Tammy has better optics IMHO. Could'nt justify keeping both lenses. New owner seems very happy with the beercan... Update :: May 2016 Sold the Tamron A005 (70-300 USD). The extra range is not worth the extra Weight and size. Lens just doesn't feel right in my hand and I can't ever see using it on a full frame camera (A7 series). Now looking for another beer can ! Update :: June 2016 Just bought another beer can for $60 which is in better condition than the first. Photos are pleasing and are 'good enough' . I'm keeping it (:> |

comment: | I own a limited copy with the clear plastic so the mechanism inside can be seen. This version suffers from CA compared to my friends "ordinary" beercan which shows less CA then my copy. Nothing that can't be fixed in PP, but they do differ. Besides that, it is a great lens, some say it's heavy, but that gives me the feeling that I'm shooting with really fine peace of equipment. I've shot some really nice portraits with this lens, the bokeh is really good. It's a great value for money. |

comment: | I have had some mixed results with this lens. Some of the shots have been very sharp but some have not. I would blame it on auto focus and sometime you don't realize that MFD is a limitation. With center crossed focus it works effectively but not with other focus points. |

comment: | My copy looks like it has been used in a warzone. Scratches on the body (not the glass!) and a damaged distance indicator window. Does not matter, because it was not in mint condition, it was cheap to buy on ebay. The optics are completely ok and it makes really great pictures. Use it a lot in low-light situations and there the constant f/4 really pays off. |

comment: | What almost all of the other reviews have said are echoed in my review. The lens is super sharp, has great Minolta colors, and a tank like build quality. Comparing it to the Sony kit lens at f3.5 wasn't even fair. The Beercan excels in every area. For 4 times the price it would still be a very good lens. When it comes to the weight as a negative, my a57 makes my shaky pictures look as though they were tripod mounted. |

comment: | I just recently picked up this legendary lens at my local shop. I did some test shots and went home to see the results. I saw what everyone has been talking about, regarding this lens' qualities. If I had purchased this lens 5 years ago, I would probably only have a 2 lens kit ( the 70-210 beercan and the beercan 28-85). This is an amazing lens. The colors ARE outstanding and it exhibits something special that is impossible to describe. The bokeh is very pleasing and wow, does it AF fast on my A700. It is heavy, but it is expected. The CA is there, but easy to correct in PP. It is a good range, and surprisingly it worked well with a friends 2x adaptor. |

negative: | CA Heavy |
comment: | This lens had been collecting some dust since I purchased the Tamron 70-300, and I was considering selling it. Decided to try it out 1 more time, shooting my son's little league game. Well, I won't be selling it. The lens has absolutely incredible contrast and saturation. Needs far less Lightroom adjustments than my other lenses. The main required adjustment is a basic lens profile correction, as there is a fair amount of distortion and some vignetting. Occasionally, CA adjustments needed. This lens is center sharp, even wide open. Achieves smooth bokeh. The extra F-stop over most zoom lenses is quite helpful. The Tamron is a great lens, no question. I've also used it to shoot Little League games... But to get super-fast shutter speeds, even in bright sunlight... I need ISO of 1000-1600, as opposed to 400-800 on the beercan. With a Sony SLT, this was the line between noise and noise-free. The lens is heavy. It's about the same size and weight as the Tamron 70-300, with 90mm less reach. So I'm keeping both lenses. Though I was impressed at how quickly this lens focused in sports situations, at least as fast as the Tamron. (Of course, the Tamron is internal focusing, while the Minolta relies exclusively on the camera) The biggest complaint is that you can get a good amount of CA. Though as long as you watch for it, it's an easy correcting in post-processing. Considering you can get a quality copy of this lens for under $150, and a 70-200 2.8 runs over $1500 and is twice the size... This lens is a no-brainer unless you absolutely need the extra F-stop. |

comment: | Finally grabbed a mint condition of this famous lens. The size always scared me off, therefore I kept a 100-200. CA seems to be worse on this beercan compared to my 100-200, but the focus distance and macro capibilities are really excellent making this lens much more useful, and give great bokeh easily. Sharpness seems to be the same, that is plenty sharp wide open already, at all focal lengths including 210. The lens is long but it's still rather light, so I don't think I will be too bothered. Highly recommended, also over the 100-200 although I loved that one! |

negative: | Prone to flare Diffraction from F11 Big and heavy |
comment: | This is a very good lens, but the hype is out-of-proportion to the reality. I would say that this is, absolutely, the best consumer telezoom of the 1980s, and when used well (with the hood, a good multicoated filter and careful control of bright light sources. When properly used, however, the results are incredible (as they should be with any quality lens). Color and bokeh are beautiful, far nicer than the sony SAM 55-200. The best feature for my use is the constant F4 aperture. Anything faster (F2.8) will be much larger, heavier and more expensive. Anything smaller and lighter will also be at least a stop slower at the long end. Most importantly, unless you spend some real money and get something like the 70-300G SSM, you may equal the Beercan's quality, but you won't exceed it. I really like this lens, but don't use it very often, which is more a reflection of the 85mm F1.4 than of any limitation or shortcoming of the beercan. |

comment: | Right from the start this lens impressed the hell outta me. I'd always heard that this was one of Minolta's great "legacy lenses", and being a Minolta-phile from waaaay back in the Dark Ages of film, I snapped one up and boy, I could'nt be more pleased. Built like a tank, this baby can take a real beating out in the field and still deliver the goods. It's macro feature is terrific with sharply detailed pictures that rival my Tamron SP 90 for performance. The colors are gorgeous and the AF is pretty damned snappy for a lens that's been out of commission for more than 25 years,not to mention the constant F/4 aperture....simply put, this is indeed a legacy lens that lives up to it's reputation! |

comment: | I'm so happy with this lens that I decided to write my first lens review. I bought this lens on ebay for only 100$ and it seems that I got an uber sharp copy, even at wide aperture. Fast and accurate AF with the A77. Some fringing though but easily removable in PP. Nice for macro and portrait too. Colors and bokeh are awesome. |

comment: | I bought this just to compare it with my existing 55-200. I read many good reviews about "beercan", so, decided to get one for me too. Comparing to 55-200, basically, image quality is not far away, both are cheap and give very similar- cheap looking results. One good point about beercan is constant aperture- in darker, cloudy day, it's very useful, that at 210mm it still has f/4 instead of f/5.6, difference is pritty visible- I can take much lower ISO setting, and for my old A290 it's very important. I could shot some birds in very shadowed areas, where I couldn't do anything with my 55-200 anymore. Extra 10mm are also sometimes extra, it's better than lack of 20mm in short end, it's telephoto, not wide angle. Overally, it's good lens and if you don't have any telephoto, it's worth to buy this. Solid build gives very nice feel when holding, also it looks more expensive than it is. |

comment: | With all the hype from Ebay and other users, I find that this lens does not perform as expected (may be due to my copy). Compare to the newer Minolta 100-200mm f/3.5-4.5, it is less sharp under poor lighting condition. However, when using it with external flash under the same condition, this lens somewhat produces much sharper pictures. |

positive: | Sharp -Solid Construction -Cheap -f4 at 210mm |
negative: | -AF is slow and sometimes hunts -Significant CA compared to modern lenses -Weight Distribution |
comment: | I picked this lens up for $80 with a Sony DT 16-50mm f2,8. Sharpness is fairly good at f/4, improves a lot at f/6.3. The weight isn't as bad as some reviews suggest, it is lighter than the Sigma 50-500mm f4-6.3 and around the same weight as the Sony 16-50mm f2.8. The weight distribution is skewed towards the front however especially at 210mm which is more noticeable than the overall weight of the lens. AF is a little slow especially in low light, I mostly prefer to use manual focus with this lens. If you are fortunate enough to have a body with focus peaking this makes MF less painful and also allows you to see the DOF easily. My copy is a little soft around the edges at 210mm f/4 but this improves greatly at f/6.3. It does suffer badly from chromatic aberration in high contrast conditions compared to modern lenses with better coatings. You can remove this to some extent in post but it's difficult to get it all. This doesn't really improve significantly on my copy until around f/9 |

comment: | While I list a lot of negative aspects to this lens, don't get my wrong - this is the most frequently used lens in my kit. I absolutely love it. I purchased mine in near mint condition and it was the best $200 I ever spent. It doesn't have an in-lens auto focus motor - but for me this is a non-issue as I tend to always use manual focusing so I can "see" my DOF via focus peaking in the EVF. I have a few specs of dust in my "mint" version. I realized that as you focus, the end lens piece goes in and out of the body. Its easy for dust to just slide on into the casing and show up on the inside of your lens. I find that the lens is quite blurry at 210mm. I've heard that all zooms perform worse at either end of their zoom ranges but I've noticed a distinctive drop in IQ after 190mm on my lens. This is a heavy lens - but its really good bang for your buck. |

comment: | Right the Beercan. And yes it is as good and yet as old as they say. It does definitely has some CA's to deal with in high contrast situations. Also flare can become an issue so use the supplied Hood. But in return you get a lens build like a tank, lovely rich colors beyond your expectations. A very solid feel in the hands and of course it is sharp. It really is sharp! One could say this lens has Character. Where many lenses are made today that indeed have CA's very well under control. [The DT55-200 for a kitlens has a very good handling of it] those do tend to need a bit of after works to make special. The Beercan in all its oddities on the other hand adds something lovely to the images. Where with quite some other lenses I have to raise the contrast, this lens comes naturally with a strong contrast. The colors also are warmer. Meaning that less work needed in the RAW departement ;) In short yes it is an oldie and you gotta understand its limits. In return you get a lens with character that will offer you many great things. If you allow for its shortcomings. And you know what the Bokeh certainly is an upgrade from the Sony DT 55-200 and definitely the Minolta 70-210 4.5-5.6 And compared to the Minolta 70-210 4.5-5.6 II ..that lens is so flat and so well MEH. |

positive: | Very solid build, easy to repair. Very sharp, even at F4. Continuous F/4 through range. |
negative: | The CA is disappointing with the level of sharpness. Prone to flaring. Light hitting the lens from oblique angles causes substantial washing out of the image. You need a hood. |
comment: | You need a very solid tripod, or very strong hands to tighten the clamps down on your tripod to keep this lens from pulling the head down. AF is surprisingly quick on my A580, I suspect because when the focus is dialed in, it is really quite sharp indeed. If this lens were F2.8 and were APO, all else the same, it would cost 10x as much. Definitely a good deal for amateurs and enthusiasts. |
