    Default Looking for some Minolta MC/MD lenses

    I have been told to remove all my film from the freezer, so my plan is to shoot it and see where it takes me. The problem is that my film camera of choice is not behaving well which led me to dig out my old Minolta SRT-101 and put the first roll of film into it. All I have is an MC Rokkor 50 1.7 - which is a darned fine lens. I'm looking for one or two more if anyone has some old Minolta film lenses lying around gathering dust.

    It also struck me that this camera must be 40 years old and that I have probably owned it for 3/4 of its life.

    Thanks for letting me know. I'm not interested in another body and would probably look for a wide prime if I take this project further.

    Henk, would Konica lenses fit (seeing that name changed to Konica Minolta) I have a whole kit that is looking for a home (like for a nice cup of coffee or some biltong) but only to someone that will look after them i cut my "photography teeth" on it. PM me if you know a good coffee shop or butcher

    Nope. The Konica Minolta linkup occurred decades after these lenses were made.

    Probably something like a 28 and an 85, 100 or 135.

    Thanks for the offer. If I come through your way I may well take you up on that.
