I recently,after much patient waiting, found a nice clean copy of the much vaunted MD 35/70 f3.5,complete with a genuine hood:)

Mine has the separate Macro setting button so I assume it is the third version.

I was reaaly keen to try this but had no camera to use it with and so I took a chance on a really cheap SRT 101 on ebay,'not used for several years but winding on and firing seems ok' was the description.When it arrived apart from a little dust on the screen all seemed ok.Even the meter responds with a new LR9,not that I will rely on that,but great to find it working at all.

Happy days and a chance to put some film through two famous pieces of gear from my generation, and the time when family commitments meant that I couldn't do so.:):)
 
If I am remembering my Minolta stuff correctly, that lens was designed in a collaboration with Leitz.

I really don't like zooms, but I'd like this one! :)
