About this product

Product Information

Made in Japan, the Minolta AF 28-70mm F/2.8 G is a professional grade lens used by news photographers. It is part of the Minolta AF G - Series that defines Minolta's high performance class of optics designed to give the highest optical quality. The 2.8 aperture makes it good to use in low light and the zoom range makes it an effective lens to use for street photography. The aspheric design on the Minolta AF 28-70mm F/2.8 G is different from the smooth continuous arc of a normal lens element surface as the curvature of an aspherical lens element changes shape across its surface. This reduces the amount of flare-producing surfaces and thus increases the contrast of the final image. The reduction in elements also makes the lens smaller and lighter.

The lens arrived today and was unpacked. In the world of used camera gear, it is crucial knowing the condition. It was not as described... IT WAS BETTER! Absolutely spectacular! I could not be happier. Great communicator. Great price. Great shipping (not blaming seller for the customs delay). Easy transaction. A+++.

I was hesitant to buy a used camera on eBay, but the other reviews eased my mind. The camera was exactly as described, and the photos were accurate. The seller contacted me right away, the shipping was lightning quick, and it came packed as if it was a brand new camera. The battery was charged, the menu was set to my language, and camera body was super clean. I'm very pleased with this seller, and would not hesitate to buy from them again!

    When you have great lighting, this lens puts out a gorgeous image sooc w/o post. However, you absolutely must use a lens hood because it flares like crazy with anything back lit. My copy is softer at 2.8 at 70mm than my mino 70-200 f4 beer can wide open at 70mm. Forget about getting close to a subject's face on full frame. The MFD is about a yard. For the money, the Tamron 28-75 2.8 macro is a very serviceable, sharp lens and will cost you less. The Tammy is more versatile, weighs less and can be used as a rather bulky but doable walk around. This mino is too big for walk around. I would say you could use it for events, but it focuses VERY slow and it hunts like a witch in low light, so I'd imagine it would ruin your reputation if you tried to shoot a wedding reception with it, but I ...

  • A zoom with prime image quality

    I've always lusted after a Zeiss 24-70, but this is a much better value. I'm frankly shocked at the IQ, and I dare anyone to tell the difference between it and the Zeiss. It's a constant aperture lens, so you can shoot at f 2.8 throughout the entire zoom range. It's bulletproof, all metal and glass, oozing with quality and gravitas. Big 72 mm filter ring lets in lots of light, and the bokeh is the best of any zoom I've seen. The clear heavyweight champion for A mount zooms in this range. Between this and the beer can, there's nothing you don't have covered. While the "secret handshake" 28-105 is good, and a better walk around range, its IQ doesn't hold a candle to this. I use on E mount, with the LA-EA4R Monster Adapter mod for the Sony LA-EA4 adapter. The Monster mod does 2 things: it ...

  • More From the Minds at Minolta

    Minolta made many great lenses including the professional grade AF 28-70 F/2.8 G lens. Considering this lens was introduced in the 1990's, today it functions very well on the SONY A-mount a99 SLT. Heavy, but great Minolta optics. Lacks the auto focusing speed and special coatings of today's lenses, but takes great pictures. Alternative to this lens is the SONY 24-70 F/2.8.

  • Nice lens

    I finally got a chance to use this lens. It's not quite as sharp as I had hoped but it's a really nice lens and perfect for my newborn sessions. It has a bit of wear on it but for the age it's fine.

  • Minotaur 28-70 f2.8

    This a great tank of a lens. Would highly recommend it. The only soft area is at 70mm f2.8 but by 3.2 sharpens up nice. If you are shooting outside with good light it is pretty sharp at 2.8 and 70mm. Everywhere else it is extremely sharp. If you get a chance pick one up.
