Artur,
I have had cameras of all makes over the 40-odd years I dabbled in
photography and my Minolta X700 took superb shots. I have found that
certain makes of lens rendered colours differently from others. Some makes
have a cold to neutral rendering while others tend towards warmer colours.
The same applies to film.
I assume that you are all using colour film in this case? I seriously
think you should experiment with film and lens combinations until you are
sure
that this is not going to resolve this issue. Certainly SMC filters will
not improve any lens performance to any extent.
