What I love about this lens is how it handles the 28mm wide-angle—it’s surprisingly sharp for a zoom of this era. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that is much more convenient than carrying three separate primes. For anyone using an X-700, this lens feels perfectly balanced and gives you that classic 'Minolta look' with almost zero weight penalty. It’s a fantastic entry point for those wanting to explore the MD system's famous color palette.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMinolta MD Zoom 28-70mm f\/3.5-4.8\u003c\/b\u003e Lens (S\/N: 57102117)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003eFront and Rear Lens Caps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eMinolta\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eMD Zoom 28-70mm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003eLens Type: Standard Zoom Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 28-70mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003eAperture Range: f\/3.5 – f\/4.8 (Max) to f\/22 – f\/32 (Min)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Minolta MD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,6,0\"\u003eCategory: 2.
