For this month I bought a Minolta MDii Rokkor X 50mm f1.4. The 55mm filter thread version.
In it's original box with foam insert. Beautiful lens.
I already own the MC PG version and the MD1 version.
For my second buy I'm alot more excited.
Clip on 49mm lens hood that fits the Minolta MDiii 50mm f1.4, f1.7, and f2 lens.

So as a Christmas present I've just acquired another Exakta RTL1000, though this one has a Sankyo Kohki w-Komura 28mm f3.5 attached to it.
Anyone had any experience with this lens? Going by average prices I appear to have paid at least a third of the going rate... 😁 |

I hope your Primagon is good. That's one of my favorite lenses. It's got a very rich character. |
Finally had time to give it something approaching a proper test, and I am impressed...
Iirc, Acros filter in camera on first shot, second no PP so colours as shot
Focus isn't where it should be on the leaves shot but other than that I'm pretty impressed despite it being a touch slow. Really will have to try it on a full frame for landscapes though..
Given I got it for the cost of a Lydith, I'm not really in a position complain.. 😁 |

With the iris wide open it can produce some stunning bokeh too - as beautiful as any I've seen. It can also make very interesting, multi-hued flaring if you're interested in that sort of thing. I've even gotten some really nice macro shots with mine. |

During Black Friday thru Cyber Monday some US Ebay Sellers are offering discounts.
My Birthday is in December. So for an early bday present, I bought a Minolta MD W Rokkor X 24mm f2.8. This is the MDiib version. This is the lightest 9/7 version at 215 grams.
After 10 percent discount, $89.10 plus $5.99 shipping.
Can't wait to get it.

On the subject of flaring...
The Sankyo Kohko w-Komura 28mm f/3.5 arrived today... 
I've lucked out with this one, it's optically excellent and mechanically everything is smooth. It's also an exa mount rather than the interchangable one I've seen on some.. Definitely deserves a proper test on a full frame sooner rather than later.. |

I'll keep an eye out for your test. The only thing Komura I have is their Telemore double extender which was well respected. I think it got so popular it cornered the market for a while, back in the day. I'd have to say, by todays standards, I find it okay at its job, nothing more than that. I didn't know they had produced lenses. |

And here it is in the flesh..
I've had a feel of its rear and it doesn't feel like it's a convertible mount rather a fixed Exa one. It's in lovely condition though. |

Nice lens, very cool styling. Sharp as heck with really nice bokeh. My testing has been inhibited by rotten weather, and I have a feeling I'll have to wait for Spring to get a proper feel for it, but so far so good. It does a good job with landscapes and it ought to be great for portraits.
It's not outstanding for macro, interestingly. In that respect it reminds me a bit of the old silver CZJ Sonnar 135. |

Yes, totally agree 
Hmm ... mine certainly isn't when using it on 24MP FF. Other 135mm primes, let alone some vintage zooms (such as nFD 4/80-200L, Minolta MD 4/70-210 or Zeiss CY 4/80-200mm) have much less problems in the field and in the corners. Which camera did you use, and which apertures?

I never tried it for portraits, but i guess it would give nice results, too.

Tele lenses - unless they have internal focusing - usually are not very good for macro.
