Sony Alpha A100/Minolta 70-210 3.5-4.5,ISO100,handheld.

I`m very pleased with the performance of this lens,bought for £70 in a local dealer.

It`s often overshadowed by its big brother the so called "beercan"

For comparison this shot with Konica Minolta 18-70 kit lens.Cost me £40on ebay.I think I`ve got a good copy of this often maligned lens.



Shame I got the focus on the upper flower head though.


Cheers and thanks for looking

Looks like you've got a couple of lenses there that are more than adequate for the job.

I agree with your own critique of the second image. The first one is well done.

Yes indeed Donald.And for what I paid,bargains!!

Hi David, it looks like it is sharp enough to crop just the top one for a keeper!
