It's a good lens however it is noticeably soft wide open at f4. Definitely better results if you choke it down a bit so I'd be hesitant on using this lens during low light situations regardless of your camera's high ISO capabilities. Daytime in moderately good lighting, you get really sharp results around f5.6 to 8 at all focal ranges.

I have bought and sold more copies of this lens than I care to admit over the years. I just can't do without one! I really takes tack sharp photos with the pleasing "Minolta colors". I am not one to spend time in post-processing, so the old Minolta glass renders natural colors right out of the camera. Plus, the focal length is ideal for both APSC and full frame digital cameras. Macro shots are great, and nice bonus. This is a small, light weight lens worth adding to your kit. And, you can get one for a song!

This lens is a great all around lens for scenic views, to macro close ups. The Fstop is great for making the object the focal point of the picture.

Like it's big brother (the legendary 70-210 Beercan) this "Baby Beercan" 35-70 is a constant f4 zoom that delivers outstanding picture quality with a small frame. You can usually find them for $100 or less- with Macro, incredible build quality and compact size, this really is a wonderful lens to add to your camera bag. I have owned and used up one (meaning it had a fatal accident because it's owner dropped it onto a sidewalk), have bought one for my best friend, and now own another for myself. I consider it an essential part of my Sony SLT-a77 outfit, and will not ever be without one!
Very good value, sharp lens with a constant f4 aperture, I have not used the macro option so I can't comment on that, however, 70mm is not really the optimum macro distance in my opinion, don't get it if that is all you want it for. For a all around walk around lens on a full frame lens it is better that kit lens you can get on your camera today,
