    Overview

    The Minolta AF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 is a compact, well-built wide-angle zoom suited for full-frame users, offering decent image quality with superb color rendition. Weaknesses include soft corners wide open, modest sharpness, and a useless lens hood. It performs best in good light and on full frame; on APS-C it's less appealing than kit lenses. Minimal distortion and excellent color make it a good landscape lens. It suits budget-conscious full-frame shooters who value build and color over ultimate sharpness.
