The latest issue of Popular Photography reviews the Minolta Zoom lens
for the new Minolta Maxxim cameras.  I am a happy Minolta user, but I
find the review to indicate that the Maxxim zoom is just another
zoom lens with many compromises on image contrast due to all the
glass they have to use.  Personally, I will continue to lug around
6 fixed focal length lenses and know that I am going to get the best 
image that I can afford.  My Celtic telephoto is better than a Maxxim 
zoom any day and my Rokkor 100mm macro is better than any zoom made for 
less than $2000.
