This is neat! 100/2 are a bit forgotten nowadays. I used the Oly 100/2, ZF 100/2, CY 100/2 and Mino 100/2 just love that FL aperture combo. The Mino and CY produce just lovely images.
For me ~100mm is the perfect focal length for tight portraits, and CY 100/2 is just all around fantastic. I might have to try the Minolta, too.
The ergo sucks (this was when Mino was pushing AF and so the MF ring is dinky and no aperture ring) and it has 80/90’s tele flare issues as well as LoCal, buuuuuut the sharpness, bokeh, color and physical size are fantastic. Images sing.
@SteveSpencer I am with you on spacing.
21-35-75mm or 28-50-90/100 are great kits.
