5.0 out of 5 stars for the price, it is great
Still a long way from your ideal lens, but for sixty five dollars I have no complaints. No purple fringing, smooth and solid feeling. You just use it and it never gives any trouble.

I sure wish for larger apetrures, and more zoom, but I knew I would when I bought it. I am happy with the wide angle end, though. You never realize how many shots you miss...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good lens, not great on Alpha 100
I use this lens with an Sony Alpha 100. For most of the range it works well. When zoomed out all the way, it vignettes considerably (curved shadows on the corners). The auto-focus works well, but it tends to overexpose slightly.

This review is from: Konica Minolta 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Digital Zoom Lens for 5D and 7D Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)

I sure wish for larger apetrures, and more zoom, but I knew I would when I bought it. I am happy with the wide angle end, though. You never realize how many shots you miss till you get a lens that has a larger field of view. If I had to choose, I'd prefer that to a big zoom, the need for it comes up a lot more often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Konica Minolta 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Digital Zoom Lens for 5D and 7D Digital SLR Cameras, July 24, 2007
This review is from: Konica Minolta 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Digital Zoom Lens for 5D and 7D Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)
I have been very pleased with this lens: the low price, light weight, and sharp images are all this long time Minolta user could ask for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the money, June 8, 2007
This review is from: Konica Minolta 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Digital Zoom Lens for 5D and 7D Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)
Compared to other brands, Sony, and Minolta D lenses of higher price, this is a great lens.
[...].
A light weight good lens for Sony or Konica Minolta DSLR cameras.
Get a 55 mm UV filter to protect the front lens element (as you should with all your lenses, any brand.)
