Up for auction is an excellent Minolta 75-300mm f4.5-5.6  Zoom Lens for all Konica Minolta and Sony Alphas.  It comes with UV filer, rear cap as well as a screw-on type hood as shown in Photo #4.

It is known as the 'Big Beercan', relative to 70-210mm lens -beer can.  According to http://www.dyxum.com/lenses/detail.asp?IDLens=52 (you see from the 44 reviews that not every copy is sharp and in excellent condition.)

it is even better than beer can!  It has higher rating than beer can.  See http://www.dyxum.com/lenses/detail.asp?IDLens=48

Besides you can get the extra reach from 210 to 300mm sharp. 

Testing of this copy confirms the evaluation at Dyxum: it's sharp at all focal lengths, unlike the beer can that becomes soft after 130 or 150.  So it is far superior to beer can.  You need a sturdy tripod at high focal lengths to test its sharpness.  This copy is deadly sharp.

to see full resolution (downloadable) photos taken with this lens (in the order of) wide open (i.e. F5.6) and F7.1 at 300mm, the same two apertures at 250mm and at F7.1 with 210mm.  At F5.6, it shows some CA, which is typical of BBC but is gone when stepped down.  The sharpness at such long focal lengths are nearly as good as in the 75 to 200 range and comparable to that of the prime Minolta lens of 50mm/F1.7 at its sweetest spot (i.e., beyond F2.8).

This lens is in excellent condition. The glass is in flawless condition: there is no fog, haze or fungus, no scratches or cleaning marks or internal dusts.

The aperture is snappy, operates cleanly and there is no oil on the blades.

The Macro function works in automatic focus mode!  It has been tested to work at all apertures at all focal lengths.

Cosmetically the lens is also in excellent condition.

7 day money back guarantee for 'item not as described'. 

Cost for international shipment can be calculated.

Questions and answers about this item
 Q: Can you tell me if this lens has the original lens covers (front and back) and the lens hood? Thanks, Larry
A: The glass is protected always with a UV filter. I have a perfect (metal) hood for it as stated (screw-on type see the photo), not original. It comes with rear cap. This copy is optically flawless. I am posting some links... Continue reading
