Came to me this lens (Minolta MD-II 50-135mm f3.5) Wanted the MD-III version but it is very difficult to get it. In the far field not very. (soap on one side, I hope to cure) Examples (A7R) are almost all in the wide open.

I have the same lens but it has coating issues.
Haven't shot with it yet.
You can usually find the MD-III version from seller's in Japan on ebay.
Not sure it's worth getting. Almost identical to the MD-II but it uses a clip on lens hood instead of a screw in.
As far as I know they even had the same lens coatings.

Nice shots! Looks like your copy is a good one. Or you're just using it better than I am, because I couldn't really get passable results with mine. Though I did only try a couple of times. Maybe I should take it out for a walk again.

And good thing you live in Russia. I bet in some countries you'd get at least yelled at if not punched in the face or worse if you used a big camera and lens in public with children present. Laughing
