Minolta AF 70-210 F3.5-4.5

-
I bought this lens from an former alpha user who jump ship to canon back in 2009. Back to this lens, it is light weight and compact which good for traveling. With aperture range 3.5-4.5, this is a very rare stuff for a normal zoom lens. Bokeh is nice and image quality comparable to Minolta 70-210 F4 aka beercan and it produce nice sharp image at F6.3-7.1. The downside is that it doesn't have a zoom lock and it prompt to gravity pull. Overall, this lens is very underrated compact zoom lens from Minolta and very happy that i got it.
