Reviews

Undervalued Beauty5.0/5

Undervalued Beauty I just received a Minolta 100-300 lens in excellent condition. I think it's a highly underrated piece of glass for the price (35.00). The mechanics are first rate and the autofocus under the right conditions is also excellent especially on a sony a7ii with the laea4 adapter. In fact it works better than on an older a77 which needs no adapter. All in all a great buy.

Best value zoom!5.0/5

Best value zoom! I use this on my A7 and A7S with tremendous results given the age of the lens. No severe CA to deal with, incredible color and ultra sharp. I like it better than the Sony 70-300G I used to own, and what a bargain!

The Best way to take Pictures 5.0/5

The Best way to take Pictures I was amazed how well this automatic Lens worked with my Camera, now I am looking for another Lens. Thank you for all your help for making this happen for me.
