Any comments on Minolta 70-210 F4 beercan?

Hi, thanks for these amazing pics. I tried to post to buy one but there are no replies, eager to try this great lens.

You mentioned you bought from "B&S", I am a newbie, what's that place?

"WTB" threads rarely work. You need to keep your eye out for WTS ads.

The beercan is indeed a good lens for its price range, even I got pm in other forums asking for a quote from me if I'm selling it.

Very handy as the constant f4 @ longer focal lengths produces wonderful bokeh.

You wont go wrong with a Minolta Beercan.
It's proven and it's a LEGEND.

Unless you hear ppl telling you "Don't buy Beercan. It's lousy"
You can tell that person go have his eyes check.

No lah haha.
You are a owner of it.
The pictures you taken are proof already.
If beercan is a POS (Piece of SXXX) i guess you already sell it off.

Ooh Beercan, my favorite lens next to 135mmf2.8. Very good for portraiture and can use for F1 too..for a price that is much cheaper than C's 70-200mmf4.

BBB...got one at B&S at a good price

well done, u had gotta out the full potential of a beercan, many sold away like a tin can without realised its capability.. :thumbsup: see... a good photographer will know how to maximise use of its gears.. this is proven result !
