Continuing the dusting off lens series - this time with Minolta 28-135. Inspiration - JT.
I had to adjust a tad since I did not realize the MFD of the lens is larger than the later lenses I have been using.

It was always a surprise - a lens with social distancing built-in at the long end. But the 28mm macro was usable in some conditions. Good to see excellent colours and contrast!

Re: Dusting off lens - part 3
Thank you JT. I do have quite a few in macro mode. In fact all of my 28mm shots are in macro mode, I think.
Indeed David. Thank you. Last time I used that lens was few years ago on a trip to Chicago.
Here are some examples of macro shots.

I like the tones and details very much. Nice colours: oranges, bright pinks…
Good shots overall, Sury. The lens offers a great deal of variety for range and closeups. Nice package of quality.
Thanks for sharing,

Nice photos. I still have my 28-135mm packed away in the States. Good lens. I got mine used in Tokyo in 1999. Paid 22,800 yen for it and I used it a lot on my Alpha 9xi, also bought used in Tokyo for 58,000 yen in 1997. I had added the Minolta 9xi hand grip that I bought new that screwed on the bottom to give more height and balance, but I removed the strap. I sold the 9xi in Japan in 2000. The 9xi + grip + 28-135mm was a pretty hefty package compared to the various m4/3 gear I prefer these days.sury wrote:Continuing the dusting off lens series - this time with Minolta 28-135.

I know this thread is about photos, but I couldn't resist to add some gear.

Nothing wrong with looking back.
