Choose a standard zoom lens for Maxxum

In addition to the relatively expensive 24-105D, Minolta has released a newer 28-105D consumer (inexpensive) lens that is the kit lens for the 70. The old 28-105 (non D) was a reasonably good lens, but I don't know how the new D version compares. Since you want to replace a less-than-sharp kit lens, this one might not be what you want. The new Minolta 28-100 D (not 105, unless you mean a different lens) was tested a few months ago in Popular Photography and Imagination, AKA Bait & Switch Monthly. I summarized test scores in a post dated 2004-05-27 18:38:14 PST. Looks bad, unlike the previous 28-80 D, which was quite good considering its price. |
