toyfel Posted August 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 23, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) An interesting article from David Kilpatrick about Minoltas lens design philosophy in the 1970-80 era. He sees some parallels with the Leitz/Leica lens design approach, which is why I thought it might be of interest for this forum.

Historical perspective on Minolta lens design philosophy - dyxum.com More then likely because of the partnership between the 2 and Leica giving them details on how to build Lenses for the CL.

Finnkare Posted August 23, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 23, 2009 I've heared of collaborations with SLRs too. Some Minolta body (XE-1, if I remember correctly) was rumored to be the same as some R body (R4 or something, I don't know them at all). The same goes with a 135/3,5 - same design.
