Hi,

I never really liked colour photography until I started to use Minolta glass.

Post your Minolta Alpha Mount AF photos.

Colour or B/W welcome.

Most of my photography is done with Minolta AF lenses - so, here are three pictures with the Minolta AF 85/1.4 G:

Sony A900 | Minolta 85G | f/2 | 1/800s | 100iso

Sony A900 | Minolta 85G | f/2 | 1/500s | 100iso

Sony A900 | Minolta 85G | f/2 | 1/400s | 100iso

Addy101, I will soon join the 85/1.4 club. I bought the original version this morning. Slowly adding classic Minolta AF glass.

I see you guys are using the A99, right? Has anyone here compared it to the Hasselblad HV?
BTW, beautiful images, but I think the merit belongs to the eyes & brains behind the camera 🙂

I have a few Minolta Alpha lenses and Maxxum bodies. Haven't used them in awhile though.

Thanks Maiku.A good thread - from time to time RFF users celebrate this special rendering in rokkor glass. I have around 22 lenses still from SLR film days and still use for film, DSLR and mirrorlesss.

This link is one I like to refer to which compared Leica Zeiss and Minolta philosophy from the wonderful Dyxum site http://www.dyxum.com/columns/other/Historical_perspective_Minolta_lens_design_philosophy.asp

No, mine was taken with a Dynax 7 with expired Kodak 100EVS.

A while back I picked up a 600si for a very good price and started using some of my Minolta AF lenses again. Here is sample. (Lens: 70-210/f4; Film: Eastman Double-x shot at 650 and developed in Diafine).

Someone upstream had the 35 f2. I'd love to have one of those!
