100mm · f/2.8
The Minolta AF 100mm f/2.8 Macro RS is optically excellent, with extreme sharpness and zero distortion. Chromatic aberration is minimal, though flare can occur in direct sunlight. Build is solid metal, but later versions use more plastic; the RS version is sturdy and well-balanced. Its narrow depth of field at close distances requires careful focusing. It suits macro and portrait photographers seeking a sharp, affordable lens for Minolta/Sony A-mount cameras.
