MINOLTA MD MACRO ROKKOR-X 100mm 1:3.5 [5/4]- 6 blades - ∅55 - 1978
Our first outing around the house... Bought it today !
With its dedicated macro tube and hood.
All are magnified a bit more than 1:1, due to the glassless SR-MA adapter.
Most are at Minimal Distance Focus, between f8 and f16.
Flash and diffuser. Handheld.

I've a 50mm version with the adapter listed in the classifieds at a very good price, worth buying to keep the adapter and sell the lens |

I've never tried the high ends Makro-Planar, Macro-Elmar and Macro APO-Lanthar's of the world,
but i think that in the "affordable macro lenses category", the Minolta rates way up there with the other
"people's choice award" lenses....
Still, it's a big chunk of glass for the Sony ɑ7 i now use...
When i was using a DSLR, i would enjoy using the big camera with its grip, a big and heavy lens
with extender and hood, to which i'd fit an off camera flash rig with a diffuser...
and i'd be comfortable going out like that, hunting for macros.....
Nowadays things are a bit different with the ɑ7... _________________ "Obsta principiis, finem respice"

I had the lens on the desk so it went on the Sony A6000 and I took the fat boy for a quick walk today. This is without the dedicated extender, it's just the lens, wide open, closest focus possible, ISO 1600. No PP at all, just sized.

I have the Minolta MD 100mm F4. I assume that the Minolta x2 converter is the same for both lenses, and I might have one at home that I can sell. |

I don't think there's any technical difference between the the 3.5 and 4, although they are engraved for each lens, and the lenses are quite different I think? Maybe the f4 version would work?

I wouldn't expect any difference between the extenders for the 100/3.5 & 100/4 macros. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...

The extender is is not a teleconverter, it's a matched extension tube. That means there will be no infinity focus when you use it. |

It is indeed just a tube, no optics. I does have a tripod mount which is essential for the very heavy lens. I do have a set of tubes with 36, 20, and 12mm tubes, but the genuine Minolta is a single 50mm tube so I couldn't get the right length with the set.
It's nice to have the right one as together with the lens they still fetch a very good price. I got the extender for £28 ( 40 Euro ) including postage. But I'm unlikely to sell it on, this will be something I use. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

There is no difference except the length may be different.
A matched set(lens and 1:1 extender) will be worth more, the main reason is to get a calibrated 1:1 life size, not just close to it, if you know the magnification ratio, you can reproduce in print a life-size representation. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...
