Just won one on the Bay for USD $2. I just hope I get it, I've been trying to get one for the last couple months. This is the first one at the right price. I'm taking a big chance because it's in BC Canada.

The right price, jeesh, you're tough. I don't think it's so much a risk buying from Canada or for that matter, anywhere else. The risk is more associated with the individual seller, so feedback profile is important to pay attention to. Honestly though, I think buyers present more trouble to sellers than the reverse.
Back to the lens... I anticipate good results. Please share when you get it. _________________ Regards,

Hello Walter. I have this lens. I posted some pictures in this thread. Scroll down to post 11 for this lens and make sure you click on the pictures, they are much sharper then:
http://forum.mflenses.com/minolta-madness-t19641,highlight,+minolta++madness.html
Hope it arrives OK, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it when it does. _________________ Peter - Moderator |

The risk I was talking about is the Postal strike in Canada. Hopefully it won't last to long. By the way the seller ir really nice I've already talked to him he's going to ship the lens as soon as the strike is over.
I normally only have $20 to $25 to spend per month on camera equipment so I need to stretch my dollars. I've gotten pretty good at it.
I will post some test shots as soon as I get the lens. _________________

Peter, Thank You. I've seen plenty of tests and pics of the later MD lenses
but you don't see much on the earlier versions of this lens.
Looks like I'm going to really like this one. _________________

Got it today and it's a beauty.Of course with a no glass adapter onn a 10D
it's very limited what I can do with it. Now when I get my NEX or G1 it will be a different story.
I will try to update with more pictures later today.
So here it is. Minolta MC W Rokkor HG 35 2.8 on Cannon 10D with glassless adapter. Shot is at 2.8 with No PP.
Comments and Critiques are Welcome.

I have that same lens & just put it on my G1 & took a couple quick shots for you with the lens wide open. I applied my standard PP no cropping, just re-sized to 800 on long side.

Thanks Ron. I'm leaning towards the G1. It's really nice to see what I can expect out of the lens.
I've seen some of your other posts with Minolta lenses on the G1. It seems to be a really good combo. _________________

Thanks, for posting. I hope to get a Panny soon myself, or the Nex so I can use my lens more.
So far the HG is my favorite of the Minolta 35mm focal length lenses. _________________

This is a nice lens. I have it in MCIII. It is (7/6) lens, but there is also other Minolta MCIII 35mm F2.8 without HG letters and with a different formula (5/5). It's a bit shorter. I happen to have one as well. Shall compare them one day when the polar winter gives way. |

Going to miss the warm theme and the anime angle of reviews.
For those who want to experience old reviews by tf, I've been mirroring his site to Web Archive for a while now:

Thank you aidaho (to be honest - I miss it too.. ((,
offtopic:
you touched on the subject, and I have to say about this.
The site is linked to the anime, but on a deeper level.
I did a small survey, which showed that people's opinions about anime on the site - is strictly: 50/50. Someone loves, someone not.
And those who do not like it, all the time saying anything about their hidden fantasies,... and about copyrights .
What would stop this debate, I have contacted with the real artist who draws a real anime (btw. - it was a surprice for me - that guys also are living on the Earth..).
Moreover, he is the lead character designer for the next "Ghost in the Shell" (it's cool ). He gave me permission to use his own images for the site design. I think it is even better than just screenshots from anime. These samples are really arrived from the person who is living behind the backstage of anime production |

I did a small survey, which showed that people's opinions about anime on the site - is strictly: 50/50. Someone loves, someone not.
And those who do not like it, all the time saying anything about their hidden fantasies,... and about copyrights . |
Haters gonna hate. I wouldn't sweat it.
Copyrights is a valid angle, but I doubt any of the studios would actually care.
Anyway, what's done is done.

What would stop this debate, I have contacted with the real artist who draws a real anime (btw. - it was a surprice for me - that guys also are living on the Earth..).
Moreover, he is the lead character designer for the next "Ghost in the Shell" (it's cool ). He gave me permission to use his own images for the site design. I think it is even better than just screenshots from anime. These samples are really arrived from the person who is living behind the backstage of anime production |
Cool. I didn't know they had another GitS in the works. One of my favourites. _________________ https://www.flickr.com/photos/curry-hexagon/ |
