I still have the collection of Minolta manual focus lenses I started back in 2023. One lens, the most recent acquisition, is a 200mm f/4 MD lens from 1978. This is newer than the other MC lenses which date back to the late 1960s or 1970. The only other MD lens from this newer type is a 50mm f/1.7.
The last couple of times I've tested out the 200mm lens I was disappointed and put it back in the storage bag. I decided to give it another try today and walked around with it on the R6 Mark II and I liked the results more than I expected.
I'm going to try to use both the
200mm and
50mm lenses when I get the chance and will gather worthy images in a folder with a gallery for each lens.
Here are some from today. The camera's stabilization system is not as effective with longer lenses so shutter speeds need to be faster than with my Canon RF lenses.
