19-35mm F3.5-4.5 Autofocus Zoom Lens for Minolta

"This one lens can be your new standard in creativity - doing the work of five lenses a 19mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm and 35mm. This 19-35mm zoom is constructed with high refraction, low dispersion (HLD) glass and multicoated lens elements produced by Hoya Corporation, the world's largest manufacturer of optical glass. The barrels of the lens are made from black poly carbonate to reduce the overall weight of the lens, making it a super convenient piece of equipment for photographers to carry while traveling, hiking or engaged in other activities where low weight counts. A specialized hood which attaches by quick bayonet mount is included, and works in the entire zoom range."
