Like the subject says. I have been searching but can't find a lot of information about this lens. I was able to pick one up at a reasonable cost recently because I agreed to take a massive lens cap off the seller's hands. (It was listed as a 'for parts' Minolta 35 camera with the lens-prices for the lens alone are significantly higher)

I like to learn a bit about the lenses I buy but this one has me stymied.

Thank you for an excellent suggestion. I learned more about the lens from the Wikipedia article on the camera than from all my searches on the lens, and there were other articles online that expanded on that.

Seems to be a well regarded lens, I've been wanting one to go with my 50/2, 50/1.8, & 85/2.8 Rokkor's.

Well, my samples are with PP. It is an interesting looking lens, but my lens has some blooming/ glowing. My copy is one of the oldest.
It is a heavy brass made lens with Elmar formula (5/3).

Wink
