Strength:
Light weight
Weakness:
Can't abuse it This is a wonderful lens, it delivers sharp and contrasty pictures. I also have the 28-105 and prefer the 28-80 for one simple reason- weight! The 28-105 is twice as heavy and to me unless you will be making huge enlargements it isn't worth it to lug around the heavier lens. I hardly ever get flare from this lens either. However, do not abuse this lens and expect it to hold up! I dropped mine on the carpet from about 1 ft. and I had to twist the barrel very hard to get the barrel unlocked. It is still working perfectly though. Would recommend. Customer Service Never needed Similar Products Used: Minolta 28-105 |

Strength:
Consumer grade lens, that suffers average build and average optics.
Weakness:
Not the sharpest, lightweight build quality. OK to get you going, but you will soon be longing for something better optically. Customer Service Not required Similar Products Used: 28-85 F3.5-F4.5 Minolta |
