Minolta 75-300 aka the Big Beercan

Have been playing a lot recently with the small (35-70) and big beercan (75-300). I really like the quality of these lenses. For their age, they are really good performers.

Here some recent shots from the big one. C&C most welcome.

Thanks Eddie and Attila for your kind words.

Eddie, I used Sony A580 with this. I bought this lens after reading and looking at sample for the typical Minolta colours, and I'm not disappointed. As you can see in Sparrow photo that there is some CA but nothing too bad in most images.

Attila, I agree, I haven't had a chance to do much pp but surely worth doing. But from this walk I could capture some really good shots, and I did not change lenses.
