I used to swear by this lens when I was shooting Minolta. I still have one, in mint shape, with its hood still in original packing.... I should sell it! Except not enough people know how good it is. These pictures are superb. Thanks for posting them.

Oh man -- anyone checking these out should click through to the flickr image, then expand, then hit view all sizes, and view original. The detail is incredible. Colyn are these at f/4? Depth of focus looks as if they might be.

Thanks for the comments. I shot these at f/5.6. It was a windy day and I was handholding so I needed a faster shutter speed to limit camera shake.

This lens along with the 35-70mm f/3.5 fixed aperture are in my opinion the 2 best zooms made. They both go for less than their value..
