At f8, you've got a Tessar, identical pictures to a nice Rollei. At f7, the contrast decreases but the sharpness doesn't--an awesome feature to help out in harsh lighting conditions. The lens is easy to clean at the iris area because the rear element is non-adjustable (can't miss) and held in place by 3 convenient screws; thus, removing most dust is convenient. I bought it because of its design heritage and found it even more useful than expected. Its also compact, which wasn't necessary, considering my huge XE camera, my 49 to 55mm adapter ring (matches new lens to my old system), 81a, and big metal lens hood. :) You can expect this lens to easily outperform most zoom lenses. It has average performance for a normal length Minolta lens, except at f8 where a clean sample of this lens can exceed most lens testing equipment for resolution. If wide open, its a bit too modern looking for my tastes. However, at f7, f8, and f9.5, this lens has a nice classic Tessar look for ultra-realism and adjustable contrast. What a great little thing!Read full review
This is how the modern lenses should be built: small, lightweight, yet strong as a safety locker. The image at f2 is not sharp, but should be OK for portraits. Close it down one stop to f2.8 and the image becomes super sharp. The sharpness keeps increasing as you close down the aperture still more. I didn't have high hopes from this lens before I used it. But this lens on my small micro four thirds system (e.g. Panasonic GF3) is a great match. And there is something about these minolta lenses that I can't quite pin-point. But they render images in the most realistic colors and sharpnes that I have ever seen. So, if photographic realism is your cup of tea (as opposed to dreamy, filmy, fantasy looks), then this is a glass that delivers. And it is a great value at any price below 50USD.

Sharpness and color rendition are impressive CA is under control, coma and bokeh are not bad. One of the best budget vintage standard prime for general photograph

Questo è stato il mio primo obiettivo acquistato per una Sony Nex-5 ed è stata una vera scoperta. Ovviamente, per colpa dell'anello adattatore, la Nex perde la sua maneggevolezza che la caratterizza. Ma, appena scattate le prime foto, si capisce perfettamente che stiamo utilizzando un ottimo obiettivo, luminoso e scattando a f/5 o f/8 mostra una nitidezza invidiabile a molte ottiche kit in dotazione. Ottimo il rapporto prezzo prestazioni. Attenzione che con una Nex l'obiettivo corrisponde ad un 67mm.
