FS: Minolta/Sony Alpha 70-210/4 Macro 'Beercan'

For sale is an exceptionally clean copy of the auto-focus Minolta 70-210/4 Macro ("beercan") suitable for Minolta or more attractively, a Sony Alpa body.

I 'inherited' the lens and while not a Minolta/Alpha shooter myself, the lens is well known for it's solid build, bokeh and resolution. Certainly the flickr pools ( http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=minolta 70-210 f4 macro&w=all&s=int&referer_searched=1) I've found would bear fruit to that reputation - and make me wish I had an A900 floating around. Awesome bokeh and color.

Lens is in Mint/Mint- condition. If it was used/handled, it wasn't often. It appears to have spent most of it's life in it's case tucked away. Barrel is in LN condition, Front and rear glass clean save 1-2 small dust spots and 2 pinprick-sized cleaning marks on outer edge of front element that you literally need a flashlight to locate. Zoom is smooth and rubber in LN condition. Focus mechanics (tested by hand) are buttery. Aperture, of course is electronically controlled.

Lens comes with factory hood, caps and leather hard case with strap.
