There is a second hand lens/camera shop in Tokyo, that I frequent. They have hundreds of lenses and cameras there (film & digital), and the latest I've picked up is a Minolta MC Tele Rokkor-PF 135mm F2.8, which I'd heard was nice.
I had to clean up some small areas of fungus, but it wasn't bad and has come up fine. It's a heavy, solid, very smooth focusing lens.
It seems very sharp.
Does anyone else have this lens??
Oh, it cost me 1500 yen, which is around $16-$17 US. |

The old manual focus Minolta lenses don't fit a Konica/Minolta DSLR, so there is no need to have one of those. They fit easily on 4/3 mount DSLRs though, so they are EASY to use with Olympus DSLRs. |

You are using an Oly DSLR?
BTW ... can you post some pics of the lens itself, and the rear of the lens?
I want to see if there is enough room to convert this lens to EOS |

Old manual focus Minolta lenses will ONLY mount on a 4/3 mount camera via an adapter. The flange distance on those lenses is LESS than EOS.
e.g.
Minolta MC/MD 43.5mm
Canon EF (EOS) 44mm
4/3 (Olympus) 38.67mm
As for converting, I suppose it's possible. I might look into that, as I have a number of faulty EOS lenses, and a couple of Minoltas lying around!!! |

what faulty EOS lenses do you have around?
I think buying cheap M42 to EOS adaptors may be easier to use for the conversion. |

Please keep us informed if you do any conversion work - it's always useful to have an additional source of glass. |

This MC Rokkor-PF 135/2.8 has the identical mechanical structure
as Rokkor-PG 58/1.2 and Rokkor-PF 58/1.4. These three lenses are
relatively easy to convert to EF-mount, I did convert the later two lenses.
See > http://www.pbase.com/kkawakami/mctoef_mount_conversion
This lens is not a bad lens, but you can find pretty good ones out there
for 135mm range to your camera(s).
I am not highly recommending a conversion par se, unless you have no
other means to use the lens or really fall in love to this PF 135/2.8 lens. _________________ Our Home Page has 18,200 photos in 575 directories today.

Thanks guys.
It's shipping from Germany so it might take time to get here in Australia.
I'll put up some pictures when the lens arrives.
I was bidding against somebody else who was keen. It made me wonder if it was anybody here. _________________ Minolta MC Rokkor f1.4 50mm

I walked away from a very clean one for £20 at the camera fair last weekend. I've got one that has a bad rear element, the fungus has etched the glass so bad it's unusable - the other elements are untouched by fungus. I was kinda looking for a spares one, but for that price I should have got it. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Wow, this is dug out...
All the PF are 6/5, but there was 3 different optical formulas during the MC era.
I have read that the MDs (2 formulas) would be slightly sharper wide open.
Anyway, it seems to my eyes that the lense has a very nice bokeh. I have to check this. _________________ "Plonger les choses dans la lumière, c'est les plonger dans l'infini" Léonard De Vinci
