Summary
Having owned the Minolta 300 f2.8 I found this lens to be equaly sharp. I havn't missed the extra stop and I certainly havn't missed the weight. I've used it wide open and I havn't seen any fall off in quality. Very impressed.
Strengths
Hand holdable (If there is such a word).
Sharp image and I love the circular aperture.
Weaknesses
None that comes to mind

Summary
I am very happy with this lens as I'm not going to considere the f2.8 version... the weight of this lens is perfect. Have shoot three rolls of film of wild animals, they all came out sharp and nice.
Great lens if the weight is an issue and f open is not an issue:)
Strengths
VERY sharp, lightweight
Weaknesses
none so far

Summary
For those on a tight budget and want a lens that will give really great results, this is it.
Strengths
This lens gives you the same level of quality in construction and glass as the higher priced 300 f2.8. All my prints are razor sharp, it can be hand held if needed, and the manual focus ring is in the right spot.
Weaknesses
NONE
