I've started to acquire a few Konica Hexanon lenses for my NEX and have been offered this zoom at a very competitive price. Does anyone know how it compares with Minolta's MD 3.5/35-70 Macro?

This is budget level lens I didn't compare it to Minolta, not bad , not stunning either.

I agree with Attila, it's one of the best zooms in this range but lacks a little sharpness compared to a prime. Apart from that slight sharpness issue, it's great, small and light, very pleasant to use, the macro mode is very good. I used it as a walkaround lens on my NEX-3 for a while but I just couldn't live with the knowledge that I was using a lesser lens than many others I have left at home, which is how I feel about all zooms, really.
