    28–100mm · f/3.5–5.6

    Overview

    The Minolta AF 28-100mm f/3.5-5.6 D is a budget kit lens from Konica-Minolta's final film era, offering a versatile 28-100mm range in a lightweight, all-plastic build. Optical performance is mediocre: very soft at f/3.5 and wide open, with barrel distortion; sharpness improves when stopped down to f/8 or f/13. Autofocus is decent but noisy. It suits beginners or those needing an inexpensive walk-around lens for well-lit, close-up subjects, but better alternatives exist for APS-C.
