Great zoom lens for closeups
2005-03-13I bought this about 2 years ago to take some family pictures. It is a great lens that allows you to get up close and personal with your shots.
If you want to get creative, and have a Maxxum, this is a reasonably priced accessory. I use it almost exclusively on my SLR.
Great for a second lens
2000-10-24I bought this for my QTsi camera. It is a great second lens for this camera. If you want to take professional looking photographs, using this lens with a tripod will give you remarkable results. Be sure to set the camera on the photograph setting. This lens is also great for taking those far off pictures, (the ones that are over before you run and get there). Be sure to set your camera for action to help compensate for camera or subject movement for those far off shots. Great also for capturing those special moments at sporting events or concerts, even when you have nose-bleed seats. The AF function helps capture special moments without having to constantly adjusting the lens focus. You can also turn off the AF and take some artistic shots, even if you have never used a SLR camera before. Minolta has come up with a wonderful system that makes taking excellent and exciting photographs easy for everyone.
Good lens

But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras.
At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
