Incredibly sharp. Low light lens makes it very flexible. and reasonably priced in the used market. Very light for carrying on trips.

Solid lens that yields razor sharp photos, metal construction.
Heard so much about the lens quality among users that I had to try this Minolta product even though it was made back in 1985. I am not disappointed. has an almost dimensional look to the images and the colors are just magnificent. it has a solid metal feel which adds weight but does not bother me by its results with my A35 camera. Sharp images and ability to do macro make it versatile. Only the 35 mm reach at wide angle does it seem limited in range. I use a 20-35 to make up for that. What it does it does well in most situations. More lenses should be made like the Minolta 35-105.

Super sharp and crisp images with this lens
Extremely sharp lens and on an A35 SONY it has quite a reach at 58MM. Quite a bargain when you compare to current lenses. Extremely easy to focus. The f/stop ring a bit of a struggle near the front of the lens. Works great!
