from eBay Summary: This is one of the sharpest Minolta zooms around and probably the best value. Because of the relatively short zoom range, the lens is very sharp and has no noticable distortion. Also because of the zoom range, new buyers tend to go for inferior zooms with longer coverage. That makes this lens a real bargain for those in the know. Strengths: Small, light, good value, sharp throughout the range, good contrast, low flare, no distortion. Weaknesses: Could have a longer zoom range, but that would cause distortion and softening. No metal mount but it's not been a problem. Similar Products Used: minolta 50mm f1.7, minolta 50mm macro, pentax 50mm f1.2, canon ef 28-105mm, minolta 28-135mm, minolta 28-80mm d, Customer Service: Not required for this lens, although Minolta seem to be really excellent on the occasions I have dealt with them..
