Summary: Great Lens, but I wish it were faster
Review: I love my Minolta HTsi Plus, and the matching lens makes a very nice combo. I bought the lens shortly after I bought the camera and it looks great. This two-touch lens is very easy to operate and the autofocus is fast, but sometimes not quite as fast as you might like it. The speed I was refering to in the title is not the Auto Focus speed, but the maximum aperature of the lens. At f4.5-5.6 you don't have a ton of flexibility. As my love for photography has increased I have felt limited by this, having to choose faster film, or longer exposures. If this isn't a concern to you then I highly recomend this lens. Otherwise, there are some great new zooms on the market you may want to look at before choosing.
