\nRandom samplings from lenses from decades ago – the Super-Takumar 50mm F1.4<\/b> in M42 mount!<\/p>\n


\nThis is what it looks like on the A700. (All shots with the A700 unless otherwise specified, in case you’re wondering about depth of field and field of view considerations.)<\/p>\n


\nUnitor 200mm F3.5<\/b> in M42 mount…<\/p>\n


\n…and a random shot of someone sitting far away at a mamak.<\/p>\n


\nMy former Industar 61L\/Z 50mm F2.8<\/b> in M42 mount got real nice and close!<\/p>\n


\nI’m guessing this was at F11.<\/p>\n


\nThe Sigma 14mm F3.5<\/b> on the A900!<\/p>\n


\nGoes crazily close, too! (As is the nature of wide-angles, needing only to extend a little to get good magnification.)<\/p>\n

A 20mm lens, for example, only needs to extend 20mm from its default position at infinity, to focus at 1:1x magnification.<\/p>\n


\nAnd here’s one from the Minolta 28mm F2.8<\/b> on the A900!<\/p>\n


\nMmm, lovely Minolta 24mm F2.8<\/b>. I wish I grabbed it for the A900 then. Still, F2.8 is lacking for what I shoot.<\/p>\n


\nThe old classic Minolta Rokkor 50mm F3.5 1:2x Macro<\/b> (which needs an adapter to achieve 1:1x.) Also seen on it is a Minolta MD to Minolta AF adapter (and my Sigma 17-35mm F2.8-4 EX in the background.)<\/p>\n


\nA tiny Tokina 28mm F2.8<\/b> in Minolta MD mount.<\/p>\n


\nAnother classic, the Minolta Rokkor 50mm F1.4<\/b> in MD mount.<\/p>\n


\nTokina 20-35mm F3.5-4.5<\/b>, an early ultra-wide angle zoom.<\/p>\n


\nLeft is the Vivitar Series 1 100-300mm F4.5-6.7<\/b>, one heck of a light push-pull, while on the right is my venerable Minolta 70-210mm F4 beercan<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nStar power! How?<\/p>\n


\nThe cheesy star cross filter<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nThe Minolta 500mm F8 AF Reflex<\/b>! Special mention to AF in the name because it’s the only reflex lens in the world that can auto-focus. Light and small for its focal length!<\/p>\n


\nThe subject of this picture is the orange out-of-focus highlight from the Minolta 85mm F1.4G<\/b> – compare this to the somewhat bright-lined Nikkor AF-D 85mm F1.8 and this picture will make sense.<\/p>\n


\nThe chunky Tamron 28-105mm F2.8<\/b> on my Minolta Dynax 7, the way it was meant to be.<\/p>\n


\nA fungused Minolta 28-85mm F3.5-4.5<\/b>, one early zoom from the first generation of Minolta lenses (at 28mm F3.5 on the A900.)<\/p>\n


\nThis is the 85mm F4.5 end.<\/p>\n


\nAnd finally, one from the pocket rocket, the Minolta 135mm F2.8<\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
