This is a telephoto zoom lens from when Minolta first released an autofocus SLR. Currently, it's a well-regarded lens with a constant F4 aperture, corresponding to the "small trinity" of lenses. Due to its shape, this old lens was nicknamed "tea canister." Even when used digitally, it produces good images and is still usable today. Also, the fact that the lens doesn't extend or retract during zooming makes it easy to use. The exterior has some scuffs and minor scratches, but no noticeable damage. The optics are free of mold and fogging, but there is some dust inside, which does not affect the image quality. Photos 13 and 14 are sample images taken with an α200. Included accessories are lens caps (front and rear) and a hood. The following is an excerpt of the specifications: Filter diameter: 55mm Lens construction: 9 groups, 12 elements Minimum aperture: 32 Minimum focusing distance: 1.1m Maximum magnification: 0.26x Dimensions: φ72.5 X 152mm Weight: 695g
