And was there an 28/2 or an 28/2.8 pictured in the auction? The auction has been a huge bargain, if the seller *really* gets a 28/2 for this price. Anyway, to...

mmm . . . I see what you're seeing now and it is bizzare. It is definately a doctored picture of a f2.8. I have a Minolta brochure from the mid 80's that has...

Hello! I've recently bought a really excellently conserved XG-1 and some lenses for little money on Ebay, and two additional lenses together with an XG-M for...

Yes, this will work with your XG-1 camera. I think 150 Euro is quite high, but I do not kow what other telephoto lenses are selling for in eorope. You should...
I was lucky enough to purchase an XE-1 on Ebay. The best part of the deal was the lenses it included. F 3.5 200 mm MC-Rokkor-QF. MC Rokkor F1:1.7 85 mm and MC...
Thanks for the answers so far. Taking them in considaterion, I think it is better not to buy the lens, since 150 Euro is truly quite a lot of money....

Original new price no longer matters since many of the genuine Minolta lenses are collectors items now. However, I agree that one can get good lenses for...
Be sure it's right: foils are not really safe. They easily develop pinholes and let unsafe amounts through that way. Some of the foils are not IR blocking so...
That is a serious risk and not smart at all. Like saying "I ran in front of an oncoming truck and didn't get hit". The IR is enough to fry things, and the...
