General Comments
This Minolta 50mm f/1.7 35mm SLR lens is a very special lens to me. I uses this lens for very special photographs. As it is a 50mm lens which has the same view as our eyes, it will require me to think twice on how to compose the picture and get the best angle on the subject. This is a very good learning tool and challenging as compared to wide angles or tele lens.



50mm f1.7 has a relative bright view as the aperture is wide, so the speed in AF is fast and can allow me to work in low lights conditions. This type of lens can be attached to many accessories, like the close-up lens or extension tubes if you do not have the $$ for marco lens. Can add a 2X converter to become a 100mm potrait lens..it's simply wonderful but very often modern photographers ignore as they prefer a standard zoom.
