Review on πŸ“Έ Minolta Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.4 manual focus lens by Jennifer King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What theft! for camera lenses

I use this on NEX 7 and FOTGA adapter Pros: FastSharp cheap (bought mine for $50) great design Bokeh nice Cons: heavy manual ISA Cons: I can't relate the missing AF As a negative like negative i knew i was going in, the same can be said about IS. So the only downside is that it's heavy, with the adapter installed which is also a bit heavy, two components weigh more than the NEX 7 so for a front mount it's heavier. I have to say I was lucky. for the price and got a lens that in my opinion has no scratches anywhere, no real signs of use, i would say in almost perfect condition. I'm very happy with it, for $50 it's definitely better than Sony's mid-range 50mm f/1.8 lens for Sony E-mount Nex cameras for $300, albeit without it autofocus. But focusing on the camera makes it very easy to get sharp shots. I've uploaded some photos of the setup and a test shot I took right after receiving the lens.
