Another 4 24mm Lenses Compared to Minolta MD 24 f/2.8 Vintage Battle (SoundFix)

oday’s episode of Cheap Shots: 4 MORE 24mm lenses examined. Shot on a Sony A7II full frame camera. If you haven’t watched it, check it out my other comparison video where we looked at a super takumar 24mm f/3.5, a tx-mount vivitar made by Tokina, the well-regarded Olympus OM 24 f/2.8 and the lens that many felt really won that battle – the Minolta MD 24mm f/2.8. For continuity, I’m going to compare 4 new vintage lenses to that same Minolta that really bested the competition last year. These are all less expensive than the Minolta 24mm f/2.8. The MD 24 f/2.8 that’s so well regarded, and purported to be a Leica design. But can a vintage zoom compare to a vintage prime? Especially an older zoom that goes down to 24mm? We will see. A little about this little gem. It’s the Minolta MD 24-35mm F/3.5. Vintage collectors are well aware of the 24-50mm Minolta wide-angle zoom, which is highly regarded and covers a very useful focal length on both full-frame and APS-C. But this one is a little less known. While it doesn’t cover quite as large a focal range, it’s slightly faster at a constant F3.5 and it’s small. The next lens is a CPC Phase 2 lens. Some believe CPC was a Pentax white-labelled brand. If you know this len’s history, please let me know in the comments! Next is a Komine lens made for Vivitar. There are two versions of this lens out there, one made by Kiron and the other by Komine. And finally, the Sigma Super-wide II 24mm F/2.8. Well, I love this lens, and even more, I love it’s re-branded sibling – the Quantaray 24mm f/2.8. That’s right, the Quantaray 24 is the same as the Sigma, and can often be found even cheaper. First off, I’m BLOWN AWAY by the performance of the Minolta Zoom lens at the wide end. It may not be quite as good as the prime, but you’d have an incredibly hard time telling the difference in a real world setting. The CPC Phase 2 – well, I’m not sure if this is a Pentax lens or not, but it’s compact, sharp in the center from wide open, and I think just a dandy lens if you come across one at a good price. The extreme corners are mush wide open, but critically important – this lens really sharpens up as you stop it down The Vivitar provides a trick that none of these others can . . . it opens up to F2. Whether it’s usable at that aperture or not is barely debatable. It’s soft, and unless you’re going for a really cool, dreamy context to your composition, you won’t shoot wide open. Does the Minolta Prime hold up as the top performing lens of the 8 I’ve tested? Well, it’s sharp to the corners, even wide open. It deals with flare and glare well, and it has a pleasing rendering with good contrast and color. But honestly, if I could keep just one, I have to say, I give the nod to . . . The Quantaray or Sigma Super-wide II. This lens is just a beast, and even better in manual focus than I thought it would be. It’s sharp corner-to-corner, even wide open. Gives the Minolta a run for its money, and honestly is a toss-up in that respect. The Quantaray seems warmer than the Sigma to my eye, but it’s still got the one most amazing aspect to both lenses – the close focus capabilities. That’s something these other lenses just can’t touch, and it’s like having a whole other lens in your bag, as the others simply can’t do what this lens can. So in addition to being one of the best lenses in terms of sharpness and character, its macro capabilities take it over the top. I’d love to try some Nikkors – that’s primarily what I collect, but I simply haven’t come across any in my travels. I hear the Canon FDs are great too. But hey, who says we can’t have an Episode 3? Here’s my ranking: Quantaray / Sigma Super-Wide II Minolta MD 24mm F/2.8 Olympus OM 24mm F/2.8 Minolta 24-35mm F/3.5 Vivitar TX Mount (Tokina made) 24mm F/2.8 CPC Phase 2 24mm F/2.8 Vivitar (Komine) 24mm F/2 Super-Takumar 24mm F/3.5
