A cute little lens, which is extremely compact and has excellent build and image quality. A manual lens, but works like a charm on all my DX bodies.

The first wideangle I owned, and a real gem: wide, sharp, good colors and built to last. The mechanics were world class and the optical quality followed close troop.

I had this manual lens as one of the first ones for my Minolta bodies and remember its very good mechanical construction and oh so smooth focusing.
