I have the earlier MC version of this lens, which is a joy to use too. I don't know if there are any significant differences, but I picked it up for £20, so was pretty happy with it. |

That is an excellent outfit you purchased, and these are some excellent photos!!! The full length tiger shot is magazine stuff! Bravo!
I love the SRT101 - the best looking camera ever, to my mind. I have a few (I collect cameras) and also find them very nice to operate. The 100mm is a definite winner!
What make of adapter are you using? I've had a couple that have been brutal on my DSLRs, so I'm a bit leery. I have an Exakta to Canon one that's good, but the Chinese ones I got for 8 bucks just about ripped the chrome off my Kx's lens mount. Not good.
Any advice here would be gratefully received! My own thing with old cameras/lenses is B&W printing, but it would be fun to use some of my lenses on my Pentax or Canon DSLRs!

Thank you all for the kind words on my work.
As for the adapter I only use cheap ones, my minolta to nex one I bought from ebay seller win2may, it has no brand on it and this person currently has no listings.

As usual both of the series you included for this lens are fantastic and your work really is something special!
I have an older version of this Rokkor which has the looks of the older Minoltas with knurled rings etc. It also has the "PF" designation. I don't know much about the MD version. Sometimes optical formulas changed sometimes not with MDs, I have never seen the MD version before so I am not sure.
I looked at what I had on my HDD for this lens. While this isn't a photograph in league with what you've shown previously, I love the 3D pop you can get with this lens wide open at 2.5.
