Have recently purchased this lens for my Maxxum St si. The lens weighs much heavier than the Minolta 35-80mm lens which came with my camera but covers a much extended focal length range, possibly all that I would ever want to shoot within. The focusing rings turns as faster as the oneon the smaller lens did. Though the lens dwarfs the relatively smaller ST si camera body but the overall look of my camera is impressive. Hope the wide focal lenght coverage will equally have a premium optical quality.
Convenient and versatile but not perfectJuly 11, 2001 D. Bowen(AZ United States) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was excited to get this lens and have the capability of zooming in close without having to switch lenses for wide angle shots. It does a good job, is very easy to operate, but I am a bit dissappointed with its ability to focus up close. It can not take pictures of objects closer than 6-8 feet. So I will still keep my 35-80 lens in my camera bag for those shots that I just can't back away from.
