Like many camera collectors, from time to time I find it necessary to pare down my overgrown collection. A few years back this meant getting rid of my Minolta gear, a decision I agonized over simply because of this lens. It has a look I've never seen replicated by any other. A contemporary review I ran across in one of the old photography magazines described it as primitive and outdated. Of course, this was long before Western photographers discovered the concept of "bokeh" in the early 2000s.
@@BriansPhotoShow thank you, I find that very interesting, this particular lens certainly has a unique character to it, that's what encourages me to try out different vintage lenses for myself.i have a few good modern lenses , but I feel that many modern lenses are technically very good but lacking in character
