Minolta MD 28mm f2.8 on EOS using glassless adapter.Wide open no pp.
The bloom is past it's prime. I will look for a better flower to photograph.
With adapter maximum focus distance is only about 4" or less.

the Rokkor MD 28mm 2.8 is an inexpensive lens that I like very much . Sadly , can't be used on Canon EOS directly thru glassless adaptor but only for macro.
there is a possibility , if you have a cheap EOS body available , and interessd to use Rokkors , to change the flange , converting the body .

I wanted to do it , but , in the end , I moved to NEX 3 And I don't regret a second ! i can use now Rokkors , Canon FD, Hexanons and in the close future , Fujinon X lenses .

I wish that conversion mount would work on my 10D but it won't. Crying or Very sad

I agree I like the lens also.I'm trying to buy up and test any Minolta lens I can get cheap. Kinda fun seeing what the performance on these lenses are.

I will probably either go with the NEX or G1.
Depending on how much I can save. I'd be happy with either body.
The weather isn't coperating so I can get any good shots. Windy yesterday, and today when I went out to shoot is was heavily overcast and windy. Crying or Very sad


Sun came out. Still a little wind. I didn't quite nail it, but the color reproduction is accurate to the lens in this photo.
