p.1 #1 · Found an old lens

This was given to me by my aunt as she knew I was into photography.
Alas, I own nothing for minolta.
It is a Minolta MC Rokkor-X 80-200 F4.5
It is in stupidly good condition, it even has the little gold sticker still on it from being checked. This useable on Nikon? Worth anything, or just stick it into my closet

It will look nice on a shelf. Can't be used on a Nikon w/o surgery.

You can get a MC/MD to Nikon F mount adapter I saw a few on Ebay the other day....do not know how it will work...but for $20.00 might be worth a try......

Macro only unless you do surgery. MD mount's 3mm shorter register than Nikon F.

Hmm well I would put it up on B/S, but seeing as I can't even find it on ebay, here or on KEH (besides an UG copy on there), I guess it will go on a shelf.
I would macro it, but I've never been a fan of push/pulls myself.
