eBay is annoying me at the moment, they've changed categories for the search filters so I can't easily look at say Wide or Tele lenses. :roll:


scammed I guess :(

wonder how much the minolta SLR is worth :( maybe should sell on ebay for £25? :(

Any lenses with it? Seen a few with stock lenses get about £40 depending on lens, more for primes too

I posted pic of it all to show you but ill assume you missed it :cry:

it has Minolta Macro 28-80mm wtf? this is confusing when you twist the lens either way it will zoom out, if you put it to near the middle and twist left and right :? when its fully back its set between the 50 and 35 twist right and it goes 35 to 28 and other way is 50 70 then 70

WTF.

its AF too

What's so confusing?
My Canon kit lens (18-55mm) does the same thing. There's even a mark on the barrel for when it's at it's physical shortest (just beyond 24mm) - a turn either way to 18mm or up to 55mm will move the front element out.
Of course, what you might not be seeing is what's happening with the rear element, which is the bit that matters for changing the focal length.

I saw but thought there might be others

It looks quite a cheap lens, depending on the f stop and actual model, some get very good reviews some get terrible ones

All the minolta A-Mount lenses are AF IIRC bratty :)

Bratty, I have tons of students who love analogue film stuff.
Someone will certainly buy it.
And if they don't, you could donate it to my college...

My most-used lens is my plastic nifty-fifty. That really does feel like a toy.

surprised anyone would want to buy it as it was full of scratches and had a big scratch across the reading plastic bit but I did draw big red circles showing where all the circles are saying it doesnt affect the camera atall

mad :x
