Love the look of the Minolta 85 f1.7. Very good comparison video with the Tak lens. Thanks for sharing your beautiful city.

Second of your goods watching tonight. fist was the Meyer Gorlitz 1.9. That was classy. I think this was a bit too short. Back troubles have kept me around home in the Mission district of San Francisco, and just talking pics with my various Minolta vintage lenses of the unusual objects I have in late afternoon light coming through wood venetian blinds. Fuji X body, Fotasy adapters on all my lenses so i don't have to switch around. Have some goodies from Ukraine, and you can guess what they are...lots of blades. But a Minolta on an adapter seems to only focus as far as..well, let's say, 14-17 feet. And I only just noticed that. Find for indoors, but very limited for outdoors. And as the Minolta Rokkor numbers go up, from 50 to 58, even less distance. I don't have your longer lens. But I do have those longer Ukraine lenses...Looking forward to more of your uploads tomorrow night..and viewing them on a 27" 5K retina Imac...that I traded one pair of shoes for. Not kidding.

tyvm for the video. if you could keep only one of the 85mm lenses (minolta vs takumar) which would it be and why?

😆Pentax. You only realize Pentax it's not that sharp if you zoom in. I don't crop pictures or footage. Pentax bokeh is more round, and I prefer a background with some pattern - think over a cup of coffee with milk just added without stir. Minolta offers a creamy D.O.F., the milk pattern is gone. I"m saying this because I'm incorporating all others Pentax lenses in a group if realizing a short film project. One lens alone doesn't make any difference .Thanks for your comment.
