Thanks Chris...it's really a fantastic lens! And it IS very sharp. Doesn't quite have the look that my Contax 35-70 did, but it is damn close! I had tried to unload the MD in the BS forum, with examples, but no one wanted the lens($100)...which I was shocked!! So, as I've decided to minimize my lineup, I kept the MD, and regrettably sold the Contax 35-70!! But, the Minolta does hold its own...
Nice images above...especially the Contax 35 shot!

Thanks, Gregg. That's nice to know. I was surprised, because it sells for about the same amount here, too, which made me wonder. Looks like a pretty good deal, considering the performance.
Btw, the pictures I'd posted before were taken with the Sony Zeiss 35. I don't have any Contax glass at this point.
Nice pictures with the Mitakon, in particular the second one with the maple leaves. The DOF of the Mitakon wide open is crazy shallow. I'm impressed with your ability to nail focus, the margin of error seems to be very small. I had briefly rented a 75 Lux and found it hard to consistently nail it wide open.
Helena: Beautiful sunset pictures. Very impressive.
