And so, I can encounter why the 75-150mm is so highly rated. ... The Minolta Medico 3.5/50-135mm certainly is not the best Minolta Zoom. Doc 3.v-4.5/35-105mm (both versions), MD three.5-iv.5/35-135mm and MD 4/75-150mm are sharper and have less CA. And i checked the Canon new FD 4.5/70-150mm again: It is - as the Minolta Medico four/75-150mm - nearly flawless. No CAs, very skillful particular resolution even broad open (no visible difference at any focal length and whatsoever aperture from f4.five ... f11). I oasis't cheched distortion and backlight situations, though. The Canon is quite much larger and a tad slower (f4.5 instead of f4) than the Minolta. Stephan _________________ www.artaphot.ch

I would go along both copies I had, simply I needed some money and PK mount had to become. Kiron is the best of them all and I really hateful the best, not just tad better. Vivitar'south seventy-150 are made by Kiron and suppose to exist the same equally Kiron's own branded lens, but all 3 copies I had, all of them clean and in very good condition, were worst than Kiron. I'm not maxim it's the best lens from your listing, simply because I didn't have opportunity to compare it to others. What I can say though is that it was easy match for my Vivitar Series 1 seventy-210/3.five (ver I) lens and wide open Kiron was sharper. I don't have to mention that lxx-210 is a lot bigger and heavier and then I accept Kiron very often when I want to travel light (like going to the mountains). Word on Olympus Zuiko, every bit I'thou big fan of their lenses and pic cameras. It had absolutely fantastic feel to it. Focusing was buttery smooth, focal length change was buttery smooth, absolute pleasure to handle, but... it was worst than Kiron that I also had in OM mount, so it had to go. I'm attaching link to 2 manufactures, 70-150 lens tests, maybe y'all notice them useful. All credit goes to Kiron-Klub, every bit information technology wasn't me who scanned the articles. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BybaGg5d7daDLS1QM2hwZ3Y3TGc https://bulldoze.google.com/open up?id=0BybaGg5d7daDcXJpcjY4Y3ZPbnc _________________ Mateusz No expert story e'er starts with drinking tea.

More than probable, y'all'll have to make some difficult choices between a handful of them, based more on your personal style and needs. As always, it will be an exercise in compromise. And your option will not necessarily be the same anyone else would make. I really like my Kiron 75-150 though.

I guess i will mountain them to my A7 this summertime to give them a go and do a piddling comparsion. Also take a Olympus OM 65-200mm f/4 which i never tried - is information technology any adept?

Results on 24MP Total Frame are quite good indeed: At 70mm and 100mm resolution is nearly perfect, fifty-fifty broad open an in the corners. There are no visible CAs. At 150mm, though, in that location are some CAs - thus the lens is non every bit perfect every bit the (much larger) Canon new FD four.five/75-150mm which has no CAs even at f=150mm.

cooltouch wrote: This is a zoom range that I just don't use much since it is entirely contained inside a 70-210 zoom'southward range. Yep, I know that a 70-150 should be more compact, but it isn't necessarily since there are some very compact 70-210s (or 80-200s) out at that place. I've never owned one just I consistently hear nigh how practiced the Nikon Series E 75-150 is. So I'd pay attention to that ane. I visited adaptall-2.com to have a look around and found the 20a, then read the review at that place on it. The review showed Modern Photography lens tests where this lens was pitted against the Tokina 75-150mm f/3.viii. The Tamron'southward numbers were just and then-then, but the Tokina's were quite good, so I'd put that 1 on the list of possibilities. Some other lens that I've heard groovy things near, and which I owned a copy of only for very briefly dorsum when I was a camera dealer, is the Canon FL 55-135mm f/3.v. It's a 2-ring zoom and, typical of the FL lenses, it is built similar a tank. _________________ Michael My Gear List: http://michaelmcbroom.com/photo/gear.html My Gallery: http://michaelmcbroom.com/gallery3/index.php/ My Flickr Page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/11308754@N08/albums My Music: https://soundcloud.com/michaelmcbroom/albums My Web log: http://michaelmcbroom.com/blogistan/

I sold it on in attempt to cue LBA. Didn't exactly piece of work, only did help a little. The lens was really not much taller then the Super Tak 135mm either if I remember correctly. Handy thing actually.

stevemark wrote: kymarto wrote: I have the Tamron 51a, which I like a lot. It is pretty sharp, but I utilize it in diverse stages of soft focus for the bokeh. For exactly the same reason i rarely use the Tamron SP 2.8/70-150mm Softfocus (aka 51A). In my opinion, the combination of a soft focus lens with a really "noisy" and weird bokeh (typical for the 51A) doesn't make much sense, unless ane is out for effects. Lenses such equally the Minolta Doc 85mm 1:ii.8 Soft Focus or, even improve, the Mamyia iv.five/145mm SF are much better though-out constructions. In improver to having a smooth bokeh, their added controlled aberrations are smoother and expect more than natural than those of the Tamron 2.8/70-150mm soft focus zoom.

The samples above look like somebody has been pushing the clarity slide all the way to the right. Meanwhile I take ordered the mysterious Panagor from eBay. Another lens that is very prissy non entirely in this focal range (just that just makes information technology more than useful) is the Due south-M-C Takumar/SMC Pentax 45-125mm 1:4. It is an excellent lens that will beat a lot of Modern twenty-four hour period zooms: Album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/randomdump/albums/72157707427370294 _________________ pentaxian Last edited past D1N0 on Mon May 27, 2019 i:59 pm; edited 1 time in full

Why it fifty-fifty has a shut up mode with that kind of mediocre sharpness is beyond me. It must have been a inexpensive offering that was sold on specs and not on whatever real quality and not worthy of the mostly very decent Panagor lenses. Can't bring myself to show some samples yet :p If I ever post some, they will appear here: https://world wide web.flickr.com/photos/randomdump/albums/72157708905538088 btw the Nikon E looks very prissy. _________________ pentaxian
