Overview

(From Konica Minolta lens literature) This versatile and durable telephoto lens employs new ultra-smooth and ultra-quiet supersonic-wave motor technology for superior AF operation. 3 AD (Anomalous Dispersion) elements, which bring outstanding sharpness to focused images, are incorporated. A circular aperture (9 blades) is featured to give you smooth defocused images from the lens’ widest aperture setting. This lens also has the shortest minimum focus distance in its class. Plus you get Direct Manual Focus, a Focus Range Limiter, 4 Focus-hold buttons and a Prefocus function, for greater overall telephoto lens performance.

    Pros: outstanding imge quality, and the lense is built like a tank

    Cons: heavy

    this is a wonderful piece of glass, and the images it produces are simply outstanding. It is heavy and awkward to handle, but worth the effort. It is not one designed for hand holding, as it should me mounted on either a monopod or tripod. The weight is significant, and the image quality is incredible.
