Here are some with two Minoltas. I'm not sure whether they should be in the A Mount thread or this one, considering they're shot with the LA-EA4 and the A7.

Contax 100/3.5. After photo work during the day, I wander the main roads in towns I stay in, and photograph people in their workplaces. Amazing how many are happy and friendly, lovely and really alive, genuine. The 100mm convinced me manual focus works (for me at least) and even seems to settle subjects, as I turn the ring. Huge hit rate, maybe 60% I am happy with, for comps (some fast repeat brackets for eye blinks, etc.) The a7r lets them know when the picture is taken (!) so they can relax. 85-100mm gives plenty of personal space, for street - in their society at least....Show more →
I have the same experience (except AF with TAP) with the Nikon 105/2.5 AiS. It works superbly (and at 435g is both small & light for a 100mm) and is the perfect working distance for shooting subjects without appearing 'creepy' but also without alerting most to the fact their picture is being taken. For street I prefer that as it means they don't alter their behaviour, which is what likely drew me to take their picture in the first place. Wonderful for posed portraits too. Also excellent for landscapes on the A7rii.
