About this product
Product Information
The Konica Minolta AF 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 lens is an autofocus option that was produced by Minolta in the 1980s. It was made to be used with the Maxxum line of 35-millimeter SLR cameras. This autofocus zoom lens can be used on a body with an A mount, and it is a great choice for everyday, all-purpose photography.This sturdy lens is built almost entirely of metal and glass. It offers a heavy, solid assembly. The component has a diameter of 2.7 inches and a weight of around 17.5 ounces. The housing has a satin black coloring that is typical of Minolta products of the time, and it makes a very sharp addition to your gear. Inside the housing, there are 13 glass elements in 10 groups. The optics are multicoated, which improves light transmission and helps to protect the surfaces from scratches and abrasions. Seven straight blades define the aperture of this lens. The minimum f-stop you can choose is f/22-29.These lenses can be used with either full-frame or APS-C models. Their APS-C equivalent is 42-127 millimeters. The angle of view that you will see with a full-frame camera ranges between 75 and 29 inches. With an APS-C camera, the angle of view is 50 to 19 inches. The autofocus zoom function is very smooth and accurate, corresponding smoothly with the markings on the housing. The maximum magnification that you can achieve with these lenses is .12x, and the minimum focal distance is 2.6 feet. However, these lenses have an unusual macro option. When you flip the macro switch, it turns off the autofocus function. This lets you manually focus up to 28mm from your subject with a magnification of 0.25x.The body length of this Minolta AF model changes when you are targeting and zooming in either autofocus or manual focus mode. The focus ring turns in autofocus, and the filter ring turns in either mode. The rotating 55-millimeter filter ring means that you can use any filters of that size, like the UV type, that do not need to be in a particular orientation to work. Manual sharpness focusing of this lens is very efficient as it only takes about one-third of a rotation to go from close-up to infinity. Once you have the settings just right, the ring tension of this well-built assembly will make sure they stay where you put them. Focal lengths of 28mm, 35, 50, 77, and 85mm are marked on the housing of this model. If you enjoy using infrared black-and-white film, you will appreciate that there are five IR marks to correspond to these focal lengths. These let you easily make the adjustments you need to get great results from IR film.The mechanical specifications of this quality lens allow it to produce the rich, lush colors that Minolta lenses are known for. The Minolta Maxxum 28-85mm f/3.5-45 model gives your pictures sharpness and bright colors at lower zoom settings and softer effects at the higher settings. These variations across the magnification range are particularly suited to creating beautiful effects in portraits, macro, and landscape photos.
