Minolta Rokkor lens question

[colyn]

I just picked up 2 Minolta Rokkor SLR lens. The first is a MC Tele Rokkor-PE 200 mm f/4.5 lens and the second is a Minolta MC Tele Rokkor-QF 200mm f/3.5 lens.

Both are in good working order with excellent glass but the second shows external cosmetic wear whereas the first is in excellent cosmetic condition.

I plan to sell one so am asking which would you keep and which to sell and why??

Neither of them are worth much money, so i'd just keep them both. Try them and see which takes better pictures. I'd be inclined to keep the f3.5 one unless it is completely beat up. f4.5 lenses are hard to focus, especially if you are using them on an older body like the SRT-101 that I have.

At KEH the f3.5 is going for $49.00 in EX condition. Test them both an keep the best.
I am in a somewhat similar place, only not with Rokkor glass which is wanted. I got a nice Minolta XE-7 and three off brand lens. They look and work fine, but there is no resale value at all for them. Hard to sell to anyone.
