5.0 out of 5 stars Flexibilty for my HTsi Plus, October 11, 2000

By	Chad A. Lauterbach "chadl2" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This lens not only looks great, but is an outstanding performer on my Minolta HTsi Plus. This matchin silve lens and body is a nice touch, but should not be mistaken for quality. This lens is much wider than the 30mm or 35mm lenses many cameras come with and a f3.5 is relatively fast compared to other lenses like it on the market. It's large 62mm filter ring size also give you flexibility with your other lenses. Just by 62mm filters and step-up rings for your other lenses. I have been very happy with the lens, and highly recomend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised At The Quality, June 4, 2005

By	Frank (Seattle) - See all my reviews

I have several Minolta lenses to use on my Maxxum 9 and Maxxum 7 cameras and I use this lens frequently if I'm doing wide-angle images. To be perfectly honest, when I first bought this lens I was skeptical about how it would perform. I have shot several hundred rolls of film through this lens and I am generally quite pleased. It does very well for a lens that is rather inexpensive. It is lightweight (a welcome feature) and works very nicely indeed. I strongly recommend this lens for those wanting a short zoom lens in the wide angle area.
