    Overview

    The Minolta AF 28-75mm f/2.8 D is a constant-aperture zoom offering good value for full-frame shooters. Optically, it delivers excellent sharpness, color, and contrast when stopped down past f/4 (Azazel13), but is notably soft wide open, which undermines its f/2.8 purpose (Azazel13). Build quality is solid with fast, quiet AF and a pleasant size/weight. Distortion and chromatic aberration are well controlled. It suits budget-conscious full-frame users seeking a fast zoom, though its range is less useful on APS-C (Azazel13).
