Lightweight Tele-Zoom was obtained from Yahoo Auction at some reasonable price, clean and no fog was commented but it was a false. Foggy mist is often observed the surfaces between the iris among old lenses, this lens had the same tendency. Inconvenience condition was cleaned by disassembling rear lens module apart from the backside. No bad construction likely seen in most of MD Minolta such as one piece engineering plastic mold method for lens glass holding was not invited even with MD Rokkor named, but a simple circle clip holding method points were found in 2 places in rear module, not my favor as it is but the function is enough to hold small & light weight glass pieces. Preliminary shooting test proved it's good potentials in sharpness and resolution, even with long focus length with 300mm, SONY Alpha7-Ⅲ body has enough potential to shoot with hand holding shooting. I cannot too much to appreciate to the technology by the engineers of SONY company. I owe them that I can enjoy my photographer's life like a dream it cannot be imagined before.
Focus length capability this zoom lens has between 100 to 300mm and my another jewelry Minolta zoom 35-105mm would cover all the focal length I need until I do not desire any more.

Two silver salt period old lenses were obtained from Yahoo Auction yesterday, MD Rokkor 50mm/1,7 and Rokkor TC 135mm/4 at 10 yen and 1 yen promptly without biggest hope. Because the front lens element case is not metal and screw holding construction but one piece engineering plastic molding method meaning no way to disassemble leading to thrown away to a trash. Though there exists some pieces of infested hyfae, they are within the tolerance of actual use enough leading to a conclusion of worth purchasing. As for a latter tele-photo lens, old more than 60 years as this lens had been manufactured, usable on this lens at all with applying lost small 2mm screws. So, my gambling this time with a smallest payment was successful in total. These new comers will be brought for today's shooting outside, reporting later.

Expo 70 commemorative park at Suita Osaka, I visited there under the Scorching Sun today, the shooting object was Lotus flower in the Japanese Garden. 56 shots in a hour was enough to stay there in sever condition in need of help with fresh water avoiding heat-strike. Dropping in Farmer's Garden in Saito City for lunch, I found they regained the former bustle. Though I was exhausted today, I have no regret to have gone out, reasonable result was obtained. Because Konica Tele-Hexanon AR 200 mm/4.0 lens played a good part of the most of the scenery, I had determined well under good consideration last night. I have no complaint on the performance of this cute tele-photo lens.

​​I visited "Salunpowaku" in Mino Northern Osaka for shooting photos yesterday. Very rare atmosphere was prepared there inviting original Mediterranean goods and materials so faithfully as to reproduce a village housing construction. The organizer of this photo meeting was a so sophisticated woman, professional photographer who looks like a photo model but actually a photographer. I was supplied by her some motivation to shoot well and good energy to continue the work. 116 shots in 117 were available to be made use of in some way. Applying good concentration in every shooting scenery made me exhausted at the ending, but with comfortable fatigue.

Though I had a planning to visit International Exhibition hall at Suita for Lotus flower shooting this morning, I changed the destination into International Trade Center at Sakishima in Nanko. Strong wind was the reason in the Radio weather-forecast, but not so much at the new place. Unusual and strange devices and goods were there and I forgot the time passes with being crazy at all. Night scenery must be better from the High-Observatory commanding a fine view, so the next time would be after sunset, for sure!
