Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Minolta 28-100mm Zoom Lens   June 9, 2007
L. Ng (San Leandro, CA United States)
The lens feels lighter than expected making me think that it is made of plastic in China. But the sharpness is as good as the older Minolta zoom lens made of glass I bought ten years ago.
