Thanks Phillip for starting this thread; some nice images here.  I have had a number of wonderful Minolta lenses and regret parting with most of them--particularly the MD 85mm f/2.  I still have the MC Rokkor 58mm f/1.2, so I though I would throw in a casual portrait taken with that lens on my A7II.

I agree, these old Minolta lenses are beautiful to work with.

 

I am using them for 40 years now and never had a reason to complain :-)

The performance of the 135mm f/2 is outstanding even at fully open and it is extremely sharp. There are minor chromatic aberrations, easy to correct in LR. It is the heaviest of my lenses, but by far my favourite. With the A7, it is a perfect match, beautiful to handle.

I like this portrait very much. Taking pictures is like skiing - sometimes you see people with old and worn-out skiers skiing like young gods and others with brand new expensive high tech skiers trying to do their best. Of course, looking at the world cup, it is nice to watch those guys having the best skiers combined with the best skills.
