Guys, Just want to share some reading I found from the Net.:) Historical perspective on Minolta lens design philosophy by David Kilpatrick ©2007 I may have posted some earlier thoughts on Minolta, Leica and Zeiss. Most comments about Minolta glass refer to lenses made pre-mid-1990s, because they changed their philosophy considerably once the Malaysian plant was opened. When Minolta made all their own glass, from the mix to the coating, they did something which no other maker did at the time (mid-1970s to the end of the first generation of AF lenses). They used the lens coatings to balance colour and contrast, so that an entire set of lenses from 7.5mm to 1600mm (originally) would need no CC filters if tested critically on a single roll of film.
