Three days ago, I had the opportunity to shoot with a Minolta special zoom lens in a Mediterranean building at Mino Vegan restaurant, Salunpowaku. This zoom lens is the last model that hasn't used for years, the Minolta MD 35-70 / 3.5 with macro function, a close-up shooting to 1/4. It's an up function, so it's very effective. I was pleased so much with this old Minolta zoom lens.
The lens design was based on Ernst Leitz technology, which was once manufactured on an OEM basis by Minolta and sold as the Vario Elmar 35-70 / 3.5. The Zoom lenses were also provided in Japan with Minolta SLR mounts. Actually, they had the same performance as the Leica Zoom.
Looking at the image, I smiled at the nostalgic finish of the old Leica lens scent and gentle depiction.
