Zach Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hey folks! Stumbled across this lens the other day at a flea market, picked it up for $5! Problem is I have no clue what it is. I'm not even sure what brand it is. Any ideas? What kind of mount it is as well? Will it work on a Canon crop or full frame? If it ain't worth 5 bucks, at least its a nice decoration :) [img]https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/522511_3920271496000_158743605_n.jpg[/img] [img]https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/154494_3920271696005_368334540_n.jpg[/img] [img]https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/577934_3920271896010_1709845053_n.jpg[/img][img]https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/481888_3920272136016_976771527_n.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 [sub]The brand is Cosina[/sub][sub] [/sub][sub]Here is some info from Wiki [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosina"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosina[/url][/sub] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenb Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think MC is Minolta mount. MD and MC are standards for Minolta if I remember right. Obviously this is a Cosnia 75-300mm. I imagine it's fine especially since it looks like it supports Macro focus. It should work on full frame cameras since it was originally made for 35mm film cameras. Obviously, this means it will work fine on Canon APS-C cameras too. You should be able to get a Minolta MD to Canon adaptor for pretty cheap on Amazon or Ebay.

Zach Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 2nd question, is it worth anything? Should i buy a cheapo OM adapter and mess with it or should I just sell it on ebay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that would end up too well with the "push-pull" design. I'd probably extended it so I could fill that sucker up, then zoom out and spew coffee everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Just ordered the adapter, as if I need to spend any more money right now. Will do some test shots when I get it in Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how misleading the box to this damn thing is. I thought my wife had went above and beyond on Christmas a couple years ago. I saw "L" and thought, "yes sir!" ...Only to fake a smile 10 seconds later. Zach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
