Today is cloudy in Hong Kong. But this MD lens could still bring out the color of the subjects in the pictures. What a lens!

Nice photos, in special the close-ups.
I found it laso good for portrait shots.
I like the colors and sharp images that lens can offer on Nex cameras...

Nice lens, and the images are good too.
But with the Minolta MC or MD 3,5/50 macro lens, you can do the same or better job, I guess.

Thanks! I haven't got a MC/MD 3,5/50. Would you please share some photos by 3,5/50 so that I can decide whether to buy one too? |

This is my favourite walk around lens, very compact  . If you own a macro version, you can modify it and you can get 35 f2.8 . I have non macro version, so that trick wont work  . |

It is a macro version. I also got the same info about f2.8 from my friends earlier today! Will try to convert it myself when I have time! |

If you do convert your lens it would be interesting to see photos taken at f2.8. I don't think I'll be modifying my lens, it is fine for me as it is and as Minolta/Leica intended it to be.
