This has some really good info, if you don't already know about this site.

Thanks Walter. Dennis has done a lot of valuable work on that site, I've used it several times to compare lenses and find hoods.

Thanks for the link.

Never knew that Minolta produced so many types of manual lens. To name a few which impresssed me a lot:

4 variances of 7.5/4 fisheye
2 variances of 35/2.8 shift lens
2 variances of 85/2.8 soft lens
17 variances of 135/2.8 (no, not a typo)
4 variances of 800/8
5 variances of 1600/11

What a shame, other than the 135/2.8, none ever made it to AF era.

Would have been nice to have photos of the lenses alongside the descriptions....I started out with a SRT 101 back in 1971 (still have an SRT 102, basically the same camera)
