Sony A7, Tamron Adaptall 24mm f/2.5
I thought the world of Nikkor lenses was complex and confusing. Perhaps
because older Minolta Rokkor lenses are of the dead AR mount, there is
less literature about them and it's an even more confusing world trying
to figure our exactly what is what. So far I have been liking the
"135mm f/2.8 MC Tele Rokkor-PF". The old Rokkors can be screaming
deals. This one set me back all of $23.

Are they better than similar Nikkors? So far it's tough to say. The
Rokkors are known for color rendition not ultimate sharpness, and I
would say I like the color rendition better. Sharpness? Too early to
tell as I'm on a laptop without photoshop for the holidays. In general
they seem softer wide open and same difference at f/8.

The same lens again, it's becoming one of my favorites. Focusing is in
the opposite direction of the Nikkors, which can be quite frustrating
with muscle memory.

The texture and color of this trunk is incredible. Retrospectively I'd
have added some vignetting in post processing.
