I've been really pleased with and surprised by the performance of the Minolta MD Tele Rokkor-X 135/3.5 on my A7R2. I don't see very much written about this little 265 gram lens, but I love the sharpness, color and rendering of my copy. I use it both as a manual focus lens with a dumb adapter and, increasingly, with the Techart Pro autofocus adapter. The lens is very common and dirt cheap on Ebay at around $35 in excellent condition. My copy has the 49mm filter thread and a built-in hood. Here are some illustrative shots (non-artistic!) with it on the TAP, all wide open at f 3.5. The first is at minimum focus distance of about 1.4 m. The second is at middle distance of about 20 m. The third is a near 100% crop of the second. The fourth is at infinity and the fifth is a 100% crop of the fourth. These are all post-processed and sharpened in Lightoom. Other than some vignetting wide open, I think the lens is pretty darned good.
