My Father doesn't like manual lenses on his NEX 5 so I willingly jumped in and gave his Minolta MDs a new home on my Oly e600!

The lenses are the MD 35mm f2.8, MC 50mm f1.7, MC 135mm f3.5, MD 250mm f5.6 and MD 35-70 f3.5 Macro.

Here are some Examples with the lenses!

35mm f2.8 wide open



50mm f1.7 differing apertures (can't remember anymore)

135mm f3.5







250 f5.6 (the best Mirror ever! Sharp, small and relatively fast!)









35-70 f3.5 (This is the best Zoom I've used in this focal lenght! Beats the Adaptall 35-80 2.8-3.5, The Soligor 35-70 2.5-3.5 and the Nikkor 35-70 3.5 in terms of sharpness and foremost contrast even wide open!)

Looks like you scored a good deal on the equipment.

I agree -that MD 35-70 f3.5 Macro looks pretty good.

Watch out, you do know Minolta lenses are addictive. Very Happy
Very nice lenses. By the way incase you don't know the 250 f5.6 mirror is in the USD $1000 + range. Smile

Cheers guys!

I know that those lenses are addictive! Already got the 50mm f3.5 Macro and the super flat, sharp and beautiful (Yeah, I like it very much) 45mm f2.

On the price of the 250mm, I know that I could get a nearly complete used Olympus kit for its price but it still belongs to my father and so I enjoy its performance rather than its value! Wink
