Very nice, and highly recommended Minolta macro. Glass is Pristine. Only issue is cosmetic, a slightly faded rubber grip. Asking $125 delivered. Ken Rockwell called this the sharpest lens he's used.
I'm also selling the Sony LAEA4 adapter that provides the capability to use this great macro on Sony E Mount cameras.
I have one of these, and it is great.

It is! Haven't had any interest though
If I didn't have one I would jump on it. I have read reviews that it is one of the best macro lenses.

Yep! Ken Rockwell calls it the sharpest lens he's ever used. Maybe I'll just keep it and use it with an adapter that has no electronic contacts and keep it as a manual operated lens. I have been cutting down my kit. Got the 20-70 f4 G lens that has great close focus capabilities so I thought I would sell this.

That works on a macro lens.

You talking about using that type of adapter?

You can get manual adaptors on eBay for not too much, and manual works OK on a macro.
Oh yeah, thanks!! I have one for AF to FE. I've been adapting lenses for years ever switching to Sony mirrorless. I DO appreciate the tip!!!
I'm interested. I have a Minolta AF APO 100/300 but it is 4.5/5.6, although I what I don't have is a sharp Macro.
You JUST missed it. As a matter of fact I thought that was my buyer when I saw your email. Payment just arrived a minute ago.
