" The Minolta AF 28-135mm lens is described in various internet chat rooms as the "secret handshake" lens, because long ago, a couple of idiots got suckered into believing Minolta produced this lens, and sold it at cost as a "thank you" to the loyal Minolta customers of the day. Unfortunately, there are still a bunch of suckers that believe that today thanks to chat rooms. Minolta wasn't in the business of handing out stuff for nothing in the 1980s, they didn't have to. Now days, young people are used to electronics companies, (cable, radio, cell phones) handing out stuff for free, but it isn't free, you have to sign a contract that amounts to a few hundred dollars to get the stuff. Minolta produced excellent, unique products that stood on their own, and people were happy to pay the price. Did Sony give away the "Walkman" back in the day?"
