I have the Minolta MC Rokkor 135mm F2.8 lens, which is maybe the next version of the lens being reviewed. The optics are probably close. I found it to be a good lens, but not great. It is much better stopped down, at least somewhat. It has three things going for it: 1.) Minolta lenses produce unique vintage colors. 2.) It was inexpensive (

@@georgesealy4706 couldn't agree more with you, Minolta lenses produce beautiful colours, I've also found the 135 mm focal length useful as a street lens,the version you have is lighter than the older version I've tested here, I've got a few Minolta lenses to test in the future, good to hear from you.

I could not believe how sharp my Celtic Minolta was, and I paid 30 bucks. I probably stopped it down to f 4 for that two year old test, but I keep my Fuji camera settings at 0 and I was getting crazy sharp stuff. When you get this performance at that price, it becomes a favorite.

@@georgesealy4706 great, thanks for the extra information, you clearly know your stuff

[@fistfulloflenses]

@@sclogse1you got yourself a bargain, Minolta produced some great optics over the years, love Minolta lenses I have, and always on the lookout for more,my first proper camera was a Minolta x700 wish I hadn't sold it .
