That looks like a great price.

I only purchase 2.8 lens at this point though.

Thank you for the heads up.

This is very similar to the kit lens, and really not that great of a lens. So don't expect awesome low light performance or super sharp results.

If you need a lens to throw on your camera, without needing pro results, and you really don't care if it gets damaged, this is it.

For $35, it's okay if you don't have a cheap kit lens already (which most people do)

You're exactly right. I had a lens in this range- it's okay for a walkaround lens, but it doesn't go nearly wide enough for landscape shots (17mm is what I like- the Tamron 17-50mm 2.8)

i thought the stock lens was 18-55mm i wonder if they just did some APS math on the stock lens?

if you want a good crappy all around lens try the 18-200mm tamron. for daylight this works great and is cheap (for what it does).

changing lenses on vacation is no fun (dirt,dust,rain,whatever).

The 28-80mm is not a very sharp lens from Minolta's film lineup. The 35-80mm II silver/black (not the ones with power zoom or built-in lens cover) is the only really sharp newer film kit lens.

which means it will work with the new "affordable" Sony A850 full frame DSLR! For that camera, it *might* be great. I wonder, though, what lens kit Sony will bundle with that, if at all.

And yes, I know that the A850 is not even officially announced, but the manual has been leaked, so it should be out soon.
