Pros: Construction, Very Faithful Color Rendering, Weight, Cost, Macro

Cons: For what it costs I'd say none

Opinion: I have owned this lens for several years together with a Konica Minolta MAXXUM 5D (I'm sorry that on Juza this camera is not present, too bad really) and I must say that it is a cut above all the various kit lenses of each brand. It is made of solid metal but despite everything it does not weigh much, it has an excellent performance from 28 up to 50 / 55 closing at f8 / f10 it is also quite sharp, then beyond this focal length even closing the diaphragm at f8, it softens. To its surprise and amazement, it doesn't lose much sharpness at the edges at CT, not even at the slightest focal length. The only drawback is that it's not a "silent" focusing lens, and it's not even lightning fast (which I personally don't care about as I mainly shoot landscapes). Today you can get it for two pennies, in 2011 I took it at a 50 one of €, today for better or worse you can take it away even for less. I recommend it if you want to spend very little and have a decent optics.

Pros: Construction, solid, bright, macro function to play, sharpness from 28mm to 50mm, made of true color, good contrastorn

Cons: Af not fast, macro function only in manual focus, soft 50mm up even at f8 not much better

Opinion: I bought this lens for the price of 30 euro, wanted a cheap and intelligent alternative to the 18 55 3.5 5.6 kit, a brightness level no comparisons to 85mm remains open at F4.5, F4.5 kit is still in the 50mm .. a color rendering level wins again minolta, more and more contrast. Building bomb-proof, metal and glass than tough, pesantuccio so unbalanced a hair my sony a700. On ebay they are found in spades and fattibilissimi prices, excellent alternative to 18 55 kits given greater focal range, and higher brightness. Maybe a long nap on aps c, ff of great standard zoom handyman.
