That's a pretty old lens, no newer than early 1970s. What are the exact markings on it?

Is this typical of Minolta's?

Most of the Minolta lenses are indeed well regarded.

Also have a non-working Konica that used to by my wife's. Will ask about repairing it later but can't remember the model number.

I don't know how many actual Konica gurus frequent this forum. It's kind of unfortunate that Konica and Minolta merged shortly before both companies left the business, so now their names are forever connected, even for products that have no commonality.
