Didn't Igor post some shots with the manual Minolta 200 APO 2.8 a while back? I wasn't really familiar with the fact there was a Mino manual focus 200/2.8, but I was pretty blown away by his pics and looked it up later.

I have this lens Smile, in a case and everything. Haven't used it yet, my MD-NEX adapter is broken haha. I need to buy a new adapter and check this lens out. It doesn't say APO, just Minolta 200 2.8

the MD Tele Rokkor has a different design and afaik it's not a APO.. that's the one I was talking about:

Sure it's a AF lens, but what a gem.. some years ago the german "Foto-Magazin" listed the Minolta AF 2.8/200mm APO G as one of the five best 35mm lenses at all kind and of all times. No idea if this is true and which the other 4 lenses are, but I can tell you it's my favorite tele (also have/had Vivitar Series 1 3/200 and Contax Sonnar 2.8/180).
