About this product

Product Information

For sharp pictures with good color saturation, balance, and a large aperture, the Minolta Maxxum AF 50mm f/1.7 AF Lens is an affordable SLR option. This lens is an autofocus SLR with a focal length of 50mm and is designed with enter-weighted metering, which comes with a life-sensing touch switch. This allows the user to turn on the meter without putting pressure on the button; all you have to do is touch it. You can also use this feature to turn on and lock the autofocus, using a little extra pressure on the button. And to shoot, just press the button all the way. This version of the Minolta A-mounting system lens is compatible with Minolta Maxxum and Sony Alpha cameras. How it works is the AF, or autofocus, motor in the camera connects to the lens from the external lens mount. Just use the screwdriver-like connection to twist on your lens and start snapping pictures. The lens also comes with a body-integral AF system and full digital computer control. It’s a fixed, or prime, lens that can operate both on auto and manual modes. The 50mm length on the lens gives you pictures almost like what you can see with your bare eyes, the 35mm lens being the closest to your natural eyesight. 50mm lenses are also essential to any photographer because the wide aperature allows more light into the lens, allows you to use a faster shutter speed or lower ISO, or a combination of the two. Bokeh, which is how the lens renders focal areas, is typically better with a 50mm lens. It also prevents the dreaded camera shake, and it’s very versatile and travels well. And the Minolta AF 50mm f/1.7 AF Lens actually has a wider aperture at f/1.7, comparable to Zeiss and Pentax lenses, than the typical f/1.8 you get with Nikon, Canon, and Olympus brands, allowing even more light into your photo. Also, the lowest aperture for this lens is f/22, making this a great addition to your gear. The lens is lightweight and portable at only 6 ounces, and with a diameter of only 2.6 inches, it easily fits into your camera bag. The lens also comes with a filter. The Tiffen 49 to 55 step up ring lets you use a 55 mm threaded filter on the 50 mm lens. It’s made of aluminum alloy to prevent the filter from jamming.

    The camera is as close to flawless as a close to 50 year old camera can be...the description was very accurate. I paid a premium for this one but it was worth it, it's still a great value. Shipping was extremely inexpensive (that was a nice offsetting cost) and the packaging protected my investment well. I will gladly shop this seller again.

    This is an excellent eBay seller. My item was packaged so well, and shipped quickly. Everything was as, or even better than described, and was of a fair market value. The seller's communication is also excellent, and I would not hesitate to order and buy from this seller again. Thank you.

    The package shipped quickly and arrived intact and very well packed. It did not include original packaging, but this wasn't my expectation, it was securely packed in plenty of packing material and everything was kept well isolated to keep from bouncing around in transit. The device itself works flawlessly, as described. I was delighted to see that everything came exactly as ordered. The price was unbeatable. I understand that this is a fairly old product, but it works perfectly for my BMPCC.

    Good value lens, with inevitable tradeoffs

    I'm really happy with this for the money, I'm a casual photographer who has some needs above what a smartphone can capture. Pros - solid build; easy to use; when it focuses, it's sharp, much better than the out-of-box zoom lens from Sony. Cons - sometimes struggles to find AF, especially when close to minimum focal length; AF changes are clunky

    great lens and cheap

    the image is so sharp and bokeh is amazing. low light works nice. fast auto focus , the only thing that would be perfect if only the manual focus ring was easier to use it's so small and smooth cant even put my fingers and have simple grip on it . will that is just with manual focus and other than that the lens worth more especially if you have full frame camera. if you have any question, I'm ready to answer

    Great into to macro lens!

    I picked this up after being dissatisfied with "macro" lenses that weren't "true macro" lenses. 1:1 magnification is super cool. To get to 1:1 and be in focus you've got to be CRAZY close to your subject. So much that sometimes a ring light won't actually be able to shine on anything because it's in the shadow of the ring. Do yourself a favor and also pick up a cheap AF teleconverter for not only more magnification, but the ability to back up and still achieve greater than 1:1. The distance from the subject helps a little bit for lighting.

    sharper than standard lens in low light

    The 1.7 aperture gives you twice the speed of the standard 3.5, in low light. If I had hundreds of dollars, I'd get a better lens, but for the price, this prime lens gives very slightly better results in daylight, and significantly better in low light, compared with the standard zoom.

    Great 50mm

    Product is sharp, clean. Just a great 50mm F 1.7 with Auto Focus. Plus I waited a 50 mm for my Sony Alpha that will also fit nicely on my Minolta.
