Collector Notes:
This lens is part of Minolta’s legendary early AF lineup. The original metal-bodied version is prized for its durability and image quality, especially when stopped down to f/8–f/11. While later versions became lighter and more plasticky, the “Big Beercan” remains a favourite among collectors and shooters for its classic rendering and build quality.
