135m Vintage Minolta F2.8 worth $30?

[DavidBeier]

Hey guys. I came across a 135mm Vintage Minalta in a pawn shop (F2.8). Can this mount to my 60D with an adaptor and is it worth the $30 they're asking for it (seems in good shape)?

Not really. I have lots of Minolta's, and the Rokkors are great glass, but a MD/MC to EOS adapter will have a glass element, and that just kills the IQ.

You can still easily find Olympus, Nikon or M42 135/2.8's or 135/3.5's very cheaply, and they can be adapted easily.

Thanks.
