SHOW - Portraits

Very nice!
 
I like many things about the photo, but not the color "treatment". I actually prefer it as a B&W. YMMV. Cheers.

Oooh, and a 58/1.2 lens, too!

I can tell by the big front element it's either a 58/1.2 or an 85/1.7 but can't see the text clearly enough to confirm which.

Those old Minolta SRT cameras are lovely, I have a few of them.

The big front element, with a large ribbed focus ring, and the name/info on the ring itself outside of the filter threads.

Same here. I've bought bundles with a number of SRT's, and I've kept the ones in best condition while avoiding duplicates; SRT-101, SRT-102, SRT-201, and one of the early SR-1's with the external exposure meter.

Either way it's a nice lens.

My nicest SRT is all black, I bought it from a gentleman who hiked over the mountains from Spain to Andorra and bought it there to avoid import taxes. He kept it in lovely condition and sold it to me a few years ago for just €30.

I'm not even sure how many SRTs I've got. They often sell for so little it's not worth much bother to sell them on and, light meters aside, they just keep working with no problems. I think most people prefer the newer X series cameras, lighter and more automation.

What I liked to do, at least while I had spare/duplicate lenses to use, was bundle one of the old bodies with a spare lens and give them to one of the neighborhood kids; see if I could spark any interest in photography.
 
If possible, please post the EXIF data for your images. Also, where's your home country? Cheers.
