Hi,
I recently got this lens with a heap of other stuff, I'm wondering whether it's worth trying.
I'm not a fan of manual zooms (especially push/pull-zooms) and this one is large & heavy to boot (73x122mm, 875g).
Has anyone any experience with this lens?

I could be wrong but looks like you have a valuable Leica R mount on that - probably sells for more than the lens on average.

It's a Minolta MD mount.
I collected the closest figures that site has to offer (are these all comparable across lenses?):
Looks quite impressive for a 6x zoom.

macro is pretty strange, there is a not so apparent friction based coupling
edit: trying to remember how it works. set the zoom to its shortes 35mm. turn focusing to minimum so it sort of softly "schnapps". then pull the zoom away from camera to get macro (don't turn focusing!). to get back from macro setting just pull back the zoom towards camera and jiggle the focusing a bit. that simple.

Thanks!
It's a bit weird but it seems to work.
