Konica Minolta Autofocus 24mm f/2.8 Lens for Maxxum SLR Cameras Description and Reviews.

Product Description:

From the Manufacturer
This very wide angle lens covers more than three times the angle of view of a 50mm standard lens. Its rear-focusing system ensures a compact and lightweight design, as well as faster focusing. Its circular aperture produces a more natural background.
The Minolta Maxxum Autofocus Lens System is one of the world's most complete lens systems, covering every kind of lens from wide-angle, telephoto, and wide-range zooms to large-aperture, reflex, and soft-focus types. Only Minolta Maxxum AF lenses are expressly made to link perfectly with your Minolta Maxxum AF SLR. Every Maxxum AF lens locks into your Minolta camera to form an integrated unit that allows focus and exposure data to flow from the lens' read-only memory (ROM) integrated circuit to the camera's central processing unit. Each Maxxum AF lens is a product of Minolta's

advanced computer-assisted optical design. Minolta is one of the few camera makers to insist on making its own optical glass.

Product Description
The Minolta AF lens system will open your eyes to a new vision of photography. Minolta AF lenses are world-renowned for innovative design and precise craftsmanship. Whatever your photographic needs may be, there's a Minolta AF lens ready to meet them.This lens provides a perspective not possible with human eye to give an increased feeling of depth in your pictures. This makes them particularly well-suited for photographing groups of people, architecture or landscapes. ________________________________________________________________

One of my 3 basic lenses, September 7, 2004
Reviewer: Sam A. Mawn-Mahlau

This is a fantastic lens, and has become (together with the 50/1.4 and the 135/2.8) one of the three basic lenses in my kit. The wide angle is wide enough to cover a broad range, and wide enough to give a "wide angle effect", but not so wide that the wide angle effect takes over. Just a bit wider and it would be a specialty lens, not useful for day to day shooting but only for special effect. A bit narrower, and it would be much less useful when you want to combine a foreground and background or show a small crowd to full effect (try a shot at your kids' next birthday party, and get 15 or 20 kids all in one shot gaping over the cake or the gifts).

Note that this lens has a very broad depth of field, so that you can get very sharp landscapes with the foreground and background both in full focus. It is also fast enough to be very useful in dim light situations - I have used it heavily in churches for weddings and christenings and in theatres for whole-stage shots from fairly far up close, and it produces good shots under natural lighting in each case.

The distortion has been kept under control by Minolta's floating elements design, which also helps maintain the edge-to-edge sharpness. All around, a great lens, and highly recommended in my book.
