from KEH Summary: I have taken photos of various subjects with this lens. The results have been very good, and outdoors with ideal lighting, exceptional. I can find no faults with this lens, mechanically or optically, but I must say that I have not tested it for vignetting or pincushion distortion. For my purposes, I would rarely use this lens for subjects that would result in distortion, as I shoot mostly scenics, and when shooting family functions, or the few weddings I have done at much coaxing from family members, I rarely shoot outside of the 35MM to 75MM range. I have to rate sharpness, clarity and color saturation of this lens as excellent. I seriously doubt that I will find myself disappointed in any images this lens will provide me in future uses. Strengths: Optically excellent
Solid build Weaknesses: None that I can support. Similar Products Used: Various manual Minolta cameras and lenses. I also own the two touch , Minolta MD 28~85MM Macro lens, which is a great lens also, and has given me many exceptional photographs. Customer Service: Have not used except for requesting instructions for the use of various expansion cards that I purchased for my 9xi, which I bought used from KEH. Minolta rep. was courteous and extremely helpful, and mailed the instructions I requested.
