Great little 50mm manual prime lens.
Review Below:
INTRODUCTION
This is a swell little manual focus lens from the 1990s.
SPECIFICATIONS
It has 6 multicoated elements in 5 groups.
It extends 1.4" (36mm) from the camera lens flange and is 2.5" (64mm) around.
It weighs almost nothing: 5.8 oz. (165g).
Full click stops are at f/1.7, f/2.8, f/16 and f/22. Half stop clicks are from f/2.8 through f/16. This is weird, but typical for Minolta. Of course you may select any aperture you please.
It has a 49mm filter thread.
Close focus is 1.5' or 0.45m.
The aperture ring is plastic. The rest is all metal.
There is a lip on the front of the lens to which a dedicated lens hood attaches with a complex spring-loaded tab arrangement.
PERFORMANCE
There is no distortion.
It's very sharp at all apertures.
Color balance is neutral.
RECOMMENDATIONS
This is an excellent, inexpensive and compact lens. Go get one.
