100mm · f/2.8
The Minolta AF 100mm f/2.8 Macro is renowned for exceptional sharpness and zero distortion across all distances. Its all-metal build (early versions) feels solid and precise, though later versions added plastic. Optically, chromatic aberration is minimal and bokeh is pleasing. The narrow depth of field at f/2.8 requires careful focusing. It achieves 1:1 magnification without accessories. Best suited for macro and portrait photographers seeking a versatile, affordable lens on a budget.
