Minolta 28-135 v Sony 18-70
Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2007 8:27 pm
I have an Alpha 100 and mostly use a 28-135 Minolta lens. It is sharp and contrasty and appears to have little distortion. But I very much miss having the equivalent of a 28mm on 35mm film and the 28-135 has a minimum focussing distance of about 5 feet (ignoring the fairly useless macro setting at 28mm) which is a pain.
The Sony 18-70 gets OK test write ups.
Question is whether I, or other non professional image maker or photo judge, would be likely to notice a difference in picture quality between the two lenses on prints of 12" x 16" from the whole frame?
Any observations would be welcome please?
Cheers
Jeff
