Wow! That first photo is an absolutely great portrait. Is this your son?
I love the UC 45-100, a wonderful lens with a great collapsible design. Mine has some oil on the aperture blades, unfortunately.

Yes Bro that boy is my son. My UC451 was as that oil-blades condition too and make the aperture a little sticky, I have to send it to CLA. Anyway I really like to use it.

Here'sw another one with sticky aperture ...
Interesting construction, but kind of outdated already when it went in production. The 50-100mm range was typical for eraly zooms from the mid-1960s (e. g. Minolta 3.5/50-100mm and Nikkor 43-86mm). Later lenses in this range such as the Minolta MD 2.8/40-80mm, the Mamiya CS 3.5/45-90mm or the Konica AR 3.5/45-100mm all were unsucessful.

Hi Stephan 
On the time scale you provide, this Hexanon was an early comer. I have 89 of them in my database, with the earliest made in Nov. 1975 and the latest in Dec. 1988.

Here's a short test of the lens at f=45mm, f=70mm and f=100mm. It performs very well at the long end, but needs to be stopped down to f5.6 at least in the 45mm to 80mm range. Some more details here on my website:
http://www.artaphot.ch/konica-ar/objektive/599-konica-hexanon-45-100mm-f35-uc
100% crops from the corners of 24 MP FF Sony A7II - as usual it's recommended to download the test imag and watch it e. g. on photoshop:
