Since you have a Canon FD lens listed, can I assume that this is for a mirrorless camera, like a NEX for example?
And regarding your Canon FD choice. The 75-200/4.5 is a late FD lens with more plastic than the older 70-210/4. I've owned both, and I much prefer the 70-210 over the later one. Canon also made an 80-200mm f/4 2-ring zoom in both breechlock and new FD mount. Its new price was always considerably higher than the 70-210, I think because it was considered to be more of a "professional" model. Then there's the Canon 80-200mm f/4 L push-pull zoom, which is rated outstanding. But it doesn't come cheap, even these days.
I don't have any experience with either the Konica or Minolta. I do have experience with a few others in this range: the Nikkor 80-200/4.5 and the later 80-200/4 are both great zooms. So is the Tamron SP 70-210/3.5, but it is somewhat hard to find. Tamron's 80-210/3.8-4 is also quite good. _________________ Michael

in this case 70-150 usually significantly smaller, lighter I vote for Konica. _________________ -------------------------------

if you can go to 210, then my vote would be for the Vivitar Series 1 70-210 - the Kiron version. It's cheap and in most mounts, I love mine ( both of them ) _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Since your daughter doesn't like changing lenses, and since the NEX 3 is an APS-C format, I can see where she can get down to two: use the kit lens that came with it for wide-ange shots, and then a 70-210 or so for the longer tele stuff. Unless she (you) wants to spring for the pricey Sony NEX-mount 18-200. _________________ Michael

I vote for the Konica 4/70-150, it's not too large and heavy and is close to a good 135 prime in performance imho, certainly one of the very best zooms I've tried. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |
