Re: Minolta 28-105 f3.5-4.5 zoom xi wasn't designed for manual focus (MF)

I owned and used this lens in the film days. It was my walk-around standard zoom.

I sold it and bought a 24-105  F3.5-4.5 D arond the tiem i bought the Konica Minolta 7D.

I have always been satisfied with both these lenses.

I bought the xi lens before (i had enough money to buy) the 7xi body so i had to use it in mf on the 7000AF. It is not ideal for use in mf, but it worked quite alright for me.
