I just received one as part of a vintage camera kit with an X700.
I've not used any Minolta glass before and would be mounting to an EF Mount. It's been a while since I considered getting Rokkor glass, but now that I have some, what pro's / con's / options should I be aware of?
Since this was a gift, conversion (rather than adapters) is a viable possibility as I'll want to keep it to perpetuity for sentimental reasons.
reversible conversion can be done (by jim and others), but it requires more skill/equipment than permanent conversion, which can be done with sandpaper and some patience. the lens is rather low contrast with funky bokeh that is great to get a nostalgic look and very nice for a certain kind of portrait. performance wise it lags considerably behind the later rokkor MC 50/1.4 and MC 58/1.2.
