Don't know what happened with the guy below, sounds like he got a lemon. You won't get a better lens in this range for the minolta without finding one of the older G lenses that costs about three times as much. The 2.8 coupled with the antishake of the minolta 5d or 7d makes for some of the best handheld low light photography available anywhere. Focus is quick, photos are crisp, zoom is smooth.

Well-built lens. It provides excellent sharpness (after I sent my 7D in for an autofocus issue) even wide-open and has reasonably fast focusing. The zoom ring is a lot stiffer than my old Maxxum lenses, but is smooth and the barrel doesn't creep when the camera is pointed down. A fair trade. I use it as a people lens at family gatherings and wedding receptions where it's f2.8 constant maximum aperture works well with the camera's stabilization to keep flash usage to a polite minimum. I took a star off only because I wish the wide end was 24 mm instead of 28.

This is an awesome lens. It's small and light. The zoom and focus rings have excellent grip and have very smooth operation. The build feels solid. Autofocusing with this lens is extremely fast and accurate. Autofocus operation is also the most silent of all my lenses. This lens is also razor sharp! If you are looking for a constant aperature zoom lens in this range look no further!

This is a great lens. I use this lens on my Sony A300 and never take it off. It is not very havy, compared to other fast lenses. IQ is perfect becouse it is full frame lens and in a C sensor does not show soft corners at all. It is fast lens + Sony's SSS it makes a perfect combination (you get faster shutter speed, which means less blurry photos.)Bokeh esspecialy at 75mm f2.8 is beautifull.
I looooooove this lens.

I have tried this lense and could not get satisfactory results from it. The zoom barrel is tight and don't give you nice feeling, It seems like you are using a ver cheap lense.
The picture quality is not that good.
