I'm still waiting for some film to be developed to get my "Filthy" shot, so in the meantime here's this week's WHOLE
Week 08 WHOLE
Just missing (at least) one lens to make this set of Minolta primes WHOLE.
Looking to fill that gap with an 85mm f/2 or f/1.7, but might have to wait a bit till the right one comes along.
Ideally, they'd all be one release date, but beggars can't be choosers. The two with the green numerals are Minolta MDII (1978-9) and the two with the orange numerals are MDIII (1981>)
@nog and @SimonH - seeing them here, I'm now leaning towards your preference for the MKII lenses.
On the wide end, I also wouldn't mind a 24mm f/2.8.
I'd also like to upgrade them all to the fastest possible glass in each focal length - the 35mm is already an f/1.8 which was the fastest they did.
I do have another 50mm which is an f/1.4 (but it's not as nice as this 1.7 cosmetically). There's also a 1.2 (but that's mega money).
My 28mm is a f/2.8, but there is an f/2
The 135mm is an f/3.5, they also did an f/2.8 and an f/2 version. This would be the last one to get upgraded as it's not a focal length I use that much.
Composited from four individual shots.
