How good is Minolta lenses as compare to the rest.. ?

[dr34mc4st3r]

You got yours already?

Yup, will never regret getting one :devil:

i will probably never sell the lens :devil: the colour / bokeh / sharpness is awesome ...no need to do any editing :devil:

He he... that's why i sold/ trade away my 80-200 HS... in dry cabi most of the time.
Now happy w 100/2 and 200/2.8, more beautiful than 80-200 HS

i know i buy a 70-200 or 80-200 f2.8 range, sure in dry cabi most of the time

I saw this link: http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9799&KW=85mm+f1.4

and out of 9 lenses listed, 3 are from Minolta
Don't know if it's still valid anymore..

nice... I think it is about right...

After using so many lenses across minolta range, I think the rating is pretty accurate.

Was trying to get one this morning... But in the last 5 minutes before the bidding ended, it went from $1025 to $1675, way out of my budget.

There is one here.

I want the 200 f2.8..
It's small and not too heavy.

so u bought it?

so u bought it?

I hesitated 10 minutes because I was discussing the purchase of an 80-200 G from a local CS member... And when i checked, the lens was gone. I think another CS member must have snapped it up.

In all fairness, he told me to get it right away... But I guess I'm too silly.

Yeah, but they usually go for USD 1600-1700.

Budget is a bit tight but I don't mind eating grass for a month.

Or I'll wait, save up and then get a SSM from HK.

Even the uploader admits:

Uh, yes, of course. This is just a study, how a semipro DSLR from Sony could look like. I
combined therefore elements of the Alpha, D7D, R1 and D200. Sorry if this dissappoints you.

M 85/1.4G (D) and 24-105 give me deep impression when I travelled around. The color can beat best canon "L" lens....quite close to the leica lens liao.
