Review of the Minolta AF 17-35/3.5 G

January 8th, 2007 - 03:51:34 PM:

Over the time I have accumulated a number of lenses for the Minolta AF system. Soon after I re-discovered photography in 1998, I got the 24-85/3.5-4.5, which has a good reputation, and I still use it. However, lack of sharpness, distortions and chromatic aberrations at 24 mm sometimes are too obvious, and sometimes you need something wider than 24 mm. So later I got the 24 mm and 20 mm prime lenses. Both are excellent. But they are less convenient to use. When you're in the field, you have to carry two lenses, two sets of filters (55 mm and 72 mm), and you have to constantly switch between the two. In addition, when you also need something slightly longer than 24 mm, you have to carry even more lenses.
