Rokkor 50 1.4 is good. Love Minolta lenses

Yeah i thought it was that. But it seems to lock fine.

Hi Guys, Does anyone have issues when using a Sony HVL-42AM on a NEX-7? I have an issue where the live view screen is normally brighter when the flash is mounted, which is the normal on flash mode, but intermittently the screen would go back to being dark. Does anyone have experience with...

Looks 3D to me :)

Yeah one of my fav pics from the shoot. Minoltas famous for the 3D pop and bokeh :p

Some pics from the trip to the flower dome all ooc jpgs using the Minolta MD 100mm f3.5 Macro

Dog gone day Ilford Pan F 50 on the Minolta XG-M

How about reptiles? :p Here is little snake from Saturday. Scoping me out. lol Again from the Minolta 100mm MD f3.5 Macro on f8, haven't had the chance to use the 1:1 adaptor but will do so soon. This was at 1:2.

Yeah, i seldom shoot at 1:1, cause i don't really need to. But with 1:1, the lens on f8-f16 has thinner DOF but still manageable. I think my working distance for the Minolta is pretty generous i must say. I'll try some 1:1 shots on mine soon. :P

wah must buy!

f16 and the DOF still shallow? That isn't right is it? At f8 on mine I got quite a bit freedom. Here is a butterfly i took at f8, 80% crop.

This is the MD version. It's a bit rarer in f3.5 than the f4. Its really really sharp, at f3.5 DOF is shallow so needs moving around to get in focus. But the lens itself is a little bit on the heavier side as compared to the f4. But i'm used it. Its a comfortable weight and size for the NEX-7...
