I have a Minolta Rokkor 58/1.2 lens converted to EOS I like to sell. The lens was sent to Jim Buchanan and he installed his conversion kit and adjusted for infinity. The lens body and glass are in excellent condition. No fungus on glass, or oil on the blades. I don't have a Canon camera anymore, and I have my f-mount version, so the EOS one goes. I will accept a return if the lens doesn't meet the expectations of the buyer in regard to infinity focus, or sharpness wide open. I never thought to check infinity focus as I wasn't planning on using the lens for landscape, but I did use the lens wide open and did take some pictures with it closer up stopped down and the lens is sharp. Original Minolta front cap and EOS rear cap included. Price is $550 shipped and paypal'd. Thes are the two pics I have of the lens for now.

The GetDPI creed "Buy Now Explain Later" I just noticed this today
Yes, sharp wide open. I'll see if I can find some shots I took with it when I had the XSi. I'll post them later--probably in the morning.
I had a JB-converted late model (lens on left) Rokkor. Very nice lens. old school- all metal, smooth. The JB machining is SOLID - mounts like I wish many EoS lenses did. The 58/1.2 is surprisingly sharp WO and razor sharp as you stop down. Very natural color.
