This is a telephoto zoom lens from the time Minolta released its first autofocus SLR. Currently, it's a well-regarded lens with a constant f/4 aperture, corresponding to the "small trinity" of lenses. It's an old lens, and due to its shape, it was also known as the "tea canister." Even when used digitally, the image quality is good, and I think it's still a usable lens today. Also, the fact that the lens doesn't extend or retract during zooming makes it easy to use. The exterior has some scratches and minor imperfections, but no noticeable damage. The optics are free of mold and haze, but there is some dust inside, which does not affect the image quality. The 13th and 14th photos are sample images taken with an α200. Included accessories are lens caps (front and rear) and a hood. The following are excerpts from the specifications: Filter diameter: 55mm Lens construction: 9 groups, 12 elements Minimum aperture: 32 Minimum focusing distance: 1.1m Maximum magnification: 0.26x Dimensions: φ72.5 X 152mm Weight: 695g
