NO - Minolta 28-105mm F3.5-4.5


Nothing wrong with that one AFAIK. You may be thinking of the 28-100 which
seems like a pretty bad lens. However, the two have nothing in common.

Nope - not a thing wrong with it. As several 11x17s on my wall can attest.

I'm just more in favour of the 24-105...

I'm biased to the 24-105.

Don't blame you for that. While I don't have one (I'd like to, but can't
jsutify it, since my 28-105 is more than adequate for my needs), it has the
rep of being as sharp as the 24-85, without the 24-85's distortion
problems. But it's probably out of the range of the posters' price, which
if I'm recalling the thread correctly was a big consideration.

Yes, I was ignoring the price restriction ... otoh I didn't
invoke the f/2.8 constants either (;-))
