    75–200mm · f/4.5

    Overview

    The Minolta MD 75-200mm f/4.5 offers very good definition and nice bokeh, but is less contrasty than the 75-150 f/4 and prone to hazing, which may reduce contrast (MFlenses). It suffers from chromatic aberrations (both lateral and longitudinal), though lateral CA is correctable in software (MFlenses). Build is solid, but copies may have calibration issues or fungus (MFlenses). On Sony A7R, one user found it slightly sharper than the 70-210 f/4. It suits users who can manage CA in post and prefer a compact, affordable vintage zoom.
