Re: Old manual focus lenses for NX500

Here's a Flickr album of my manual lenses on an NX100.

I got into Minolta by chance, but it was a fortunate thing as they make great lenses.  Their MD lenses are the most modern, with good coatings, etc.  They have also been optimized for small size and light weight, with most lenses using a 49mm filter thread vs 55mm on the older MC lenses.

Their 50mm f/2 is cheap/plentiful, but a fantastic performer.  Same for the 45mm f/2.  28mm f/2.8 is good, but not perfect wide open.  (Still good tho...)  135mm f/2.8 & f3.5 and 200mm f/4 are all cheap and great!

I use cheap Ebay adapters, but have occasionally had to return one for tight/loose fit.
