    Overview

    The Minolta AF 28-70mm f/2.8 G is a compact, well-built standard zoom praised for excellent sharpness from f/4 (UandB), low distortion, and outstanding flare resistance. Weaknesses include softness at f/2.8 (UandB), slow autofocus, and a long minimum focus distance. It suits enthusiasts who prioritize build and optical quality over wide-open performance, especially for portraits and general use on film or full-frame digital.
