bought it in a pawn shop for 70 kuna (9€), and it's pretty beat up and front lens is full of tiny nicks, but it performs nicely _________________ my tools:Oly E-M5 + 45mm/1.8 + Oly E-520 + 12-60 + 14-42 + 70-300 + Sigma 105mm + FL-50R + EC20 + SRF-11 ring flash

The post-1980 ones are lighter 400g vs 520g
Anyway if you go to artaphot.ch you will see that the best versions are incredibly sharp for the price, a bit better than the MD 200/2.8 and really not that far off the AF 200/2.8 APO G. Some claim they contain ED glass as well, but it has not been confirmed. |

this one weighs 520g, but for me that's not a heavy lens _________________ my tools:Oly E-M5 + 45mm/1.8 + Oly E-520 + 12-60 + 14-42 + 70-300 + Sigma 105mm + FL-50R + EC20 + SRF-11 ring flash

I've got the MD-I version (520 g) and it doesn't feel heavy at all on a NEX-5T. I'ts very compact, which improves handling and the results are good. Hand-holding it isn't easy, though _________________ http://vintagelensreviews.com/

That means this lens is quite successful. Also it is suitable for the foliage, just like many of the other Rokkors. _________________ Zuikoware / Rokkorprone / FDthropist

Very good pics.
In the past, saw a lot of images taken with this lns, and the CA was impressive to my eyes.
But not here.
it seems to be a lens which needs how to use.
And in this place, you did a very good job. |

The Minolta MC 4/200mm and the early version of the MD 4/200mm (520g) do not have strong CAs at all. Just after the introduction in my (german) text about the Minolta MC/MD 4/200mm you'll find three links, showing test results at 16MP APS-C, 24MP FF and 36MP FF:
