    Trying Out Old Minolta Maxxum Lens

    This is a pic I took with a 20 year old Minolta Maxxum 28-135mm f/4-4.5 zoom lens. The pic was taken from a moving car at 1/250 and f/11. Camera is Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D. Exposure was auto with patterrn metering. Focal length was 60mm.

    Just need some comments to decide to keep or not. Many thanks

    Keep it. Looks sharp enough. Can't really say about the colors without seeing what you actually took a picture of. The fact that it is 20 years old doesn't mean its any worse than the 2005 version of that lens.

    I'd say keep it. Looks sharp to me. You might want to print and then decide, sometimes it's hard to tell on this small of a file.
    I sleep, but I don't rest.
