Yes, the Rokkors are all manual. But they are of excellent quality. Leica 
did work with Minolta at one time which means they probably were satisfied 
with what the Japanese company produced.

Those sound like the manual focus Rokkors, the Maxxums were the AF AFAIR....

Hi Leo, I use Minolta lenses on a Fuji X-E1 and I find it to be an excellent 
mix. Those lenses are about 40 years old (Rokkor macro 50; Rokkor 24; 55 
1.7). In fact, I use these combinations much more often than the M8 / 
summicron pair.

Anyone tried this mix?  The Maxxum lenses are supposed to work nicely.
