The Minolta AF 70-210mm f/4 lens is an autofocusing telephoto photographic lens compatible with cameras using the Minolta AF lens mount. The lens is colloquially known as the "beercan" by Minolta camera users because the lens shape and size closely match the proportions of a typical aluminum beer can.
The lens is no longer in production. It remains popular, however, for use on digital single lens reflex cameras using the AF system, such as the Minolta Maxxum 7D or the Sony α. Although relatively bulky and weighty, the lens is valued for its solid build, sharpness and smooth bokeh effect.
