Part of a Minolta Macro Kit?

hoffy · May 1, 2011

Howdy,

Today I picked up what looks like a dedicated extension tube and a reversing ring that looks to be part of a macro kit of sorts. It came in a case, which looks to have once included a 50mm F3.5.

Does anyone have any idea what the lens in the kit would have been? Has anyone got one of these kits?

Cheers

The lens is most likely a MC Macro Rokkor-X. They come up on ebay once in a while.

OK, cheers. I'll keep an eye out for one.

I have the lens, and the reversing ring, but not the dedicated extension tube. I just use a random extension ring, or the bellows if in the super organized macro shooting mode. It is a nice lens. Sorry, not in the mood to sell it.

You don't need the lens to use the extension tubes,any lens will work.

Yes, I gave it a shot with my 50 F1.4 and it all seemed OK.
