Check out the review of the Minolta AF 28-85mm F/3.5-4.5 lens. This was one of Minolta’s first AF standard zoom lenses issued back in the mid 80s. It probably was a pretty good lens back in the day. Fortunately, that day has passed, and we have better lenses to choose from. It’s not a bad lens, it’s just …
I’ve been busy, though you wouldn’t know it by the lack of updates. I’m finishing the next lens review, which will be the Minolta AF 28-85mm F/3.5-4.5. Here’s a tip; it’s a real yawner! That’s all I’m going to say for now. It should be complete and posted by mid-week. There is a bright point of light in …
Up next for your reading pleasure is the Minolta AF 100-200mm F/4.5 lens review. This little lens is a diamond in the rough, as I think it’s just as good as the Minolta AF 70-210mm F/4, only smaller, lighter and less expensive, often bringing less than $75 on eBay.

This is an APS-C only lens, and gives the same basic view as a “normal” lens (50mm) on a …
I have the new list for lens reviews updated here. As I said below, due to reader demands, I’m in the process of pushing the lower priced Sigma and select Minolta lenses to the front of the pack. I’ve started on the Sigma 30mm F/1.4, and hope to have it done by this weekend. The Sony 300mm …
Ready, and right on schedule is the highly anticipated review of the highly regarded Sony 135mm F/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar lens. If you like shooting wide open with a fast lens, this is one of very few Sony lenses that will satisfy even the most obnoxious pixel peeper.

I added a new link on the Nav bar, which attempts to answer frequently asked questions, and will be called the FAQs page. I have a whopping three questions answered so far.
