Re: Minolta 300mm MD f/4.5 sample shots .

No problem .

If you've got the LA-EA4 you might want to consider the A mount Minolta 300mm f/4 APO G HS .

That's a good lens , often quite affordable . Much better image quality .

But comparatively large and heavy .

Another good choice is the Minolta 100-300mm APO or APO D .

Only f/5.6 at the long end , but very good image quality .

I usually have that with me always , "just on case" rather than carry the G lens .

I had the Sony  70-300mm G SSM , but the Minolta was far superior . Admittedly I think the Sony was faulty .
