Sebboh - glad to see you post on here!
Mike - nice shot as usual. Here's your ex-lens above in action on the Texas coast. It's wicked sharp and an absolute dream to use with the Mamiya 7!! I am in love. Best image quality I have had so far (more so than the 5Dii IMO).
Hmm, 6x7 rangefinder vs. 35mm SLR... how unfair!
Thanks, Katie, that's "your" lens now! Just in case you were curious how it performs wide open...
A few from my step daughter's baby shower. Shot on a Minolta srt201 with 50f1.7 wide open, kodak bwpro400, simple walgreens process and epson 4690 scan.
great shots with the mamiya katie and mike. i've always wanted one of those.
here's a few test shots on my recently acquired minolta SR-7 and 58/1.4 on some expired fuji 400 i found during my move. out of curiosity does anyone here know how to remove the top plate on the SR-7 to get at the prism and focus screen?
i've never really liked this lens on digital, but it's kinda growing on me on film. it has kind of a sonnar like funkiness to it.

Afraid not - the one thing I like about Minolta gear from around that time was the cool Art Deco-y styling of their typeface.

yeah, i'm not crazy about the camera and got it just to take the lens apart. i do like its looks though (except that it's a bit large) and don't have another fully mechanical minolta, so i figured i keep it.
Hi Corposant! Well, I like the B/W one more. The color has its advantages, especially that it suits the subject matter, a colorful sunset, but the B/W one has more character and the people on the pier have more interesting pauses. Also I think you tried too hard to get shadow detail in the color one. It would probably look better if it is processed similarly to the B/W one.

Yes, the slide has a lot of detail - I will someday need to drum scan it and process it like above, for the meantime, it's probably best with some shadows.
This one below, while it looks like it was some sort of photoshoot, was unstaged.
