Despite the plastic mount (which is durable enough for the amateur), and the slow speed of the optics, this lens obtained at a ridiculous low price, demonstrates the excellence of Minolta optics, at all levels of price. Testing the lens for resolution on my Sony A77, i was astonished at the high quality of the image when enlarged, and how favorably it compared to a new high priced zoom by another maker. There is a bargain trove out their waiting for the careful, budget minded user, especially with the broad range of usefulness with higher ISO'S available to the owner of modern digital cameras.
Perfect! The exact lens I was looking for, better than the one that came with my camera initially. Shipped and arrived to Canada within just a few days as well

It is an old lens and was probably very sharp when new. I like the photos I've taken with it but compared to a new lens it is soft. Sometimes soft is what you need like in portraits and the like.

Nice lens to have for your Minolta collection and the lens has good picture quality and is compatible with other Camera bodies.
Fast focus with sharp crisp pictures. Perfect for portraits and group pictures. Works great with Sony cameras.
