📸 Minolta Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.4 manual focus lens Review

Be careful when using this lens and trying to match it with other cameras/lenses. The color is slightly different through this lens and it absorbs light/glare. But a really beautiful and stylized lens!

Lens arrived early as usual. When I took it out of the box it looked a little more used than I wanted, but when I took it out of the box, WOW! Incredibly impressive design. The glass was very clean and now I can't wait to get out and try it, oh and by the way boy open that shutter!

I have the Minolta MC version. Pros: The build quality is fantastic. All metal, with rubber focus ring. The focus ring is cushioned and very smooth-running. The aperture ring is metallic and tactile. The picture quality is incredibly clear. I looked at the pixels and found that it allows for more detail than my Sony a6300. I've added a 1:1 frame for illustration. Cons: Fringing gets a bit out of control at F1.4. Fix it by stopping before F2.8.

These sellers on Revain are a waste of time for old lenses. Just go to Keh.com because they directly address the quality of the product. It has been said that small scuffs, dents and light dust are possible and do not affect the quality of the photos. The dent affects the external threads around the lens. The lens is not only covered with dust, but also with sand (?). If they're going to sell junk, at least don't advertise it for $100. I bought this to replace another broken lens that came with

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

This is a very good, sharp lens that can be adapted to many mirrorless systems with an adapter, much cheaper than comparable standard lenses. Of course, you'll need to focus manually, not automatically, but the lens' focus ring is smooth and easy to use, and it also has distance markings. I've only had the lens for a few weeks and haven't compared it to the Panasonic Leica 45mm yet, but I did a hand test with 100% crop loaded. The footage looks very close in sharpness, which both were done at…

Not only does this device look fantastic, it pairs with the Sony A7 and makes the whole set shine when installed. I have used the Fotasy mount on the NEX ILCE and it works flawlessly with this and other Minolta Rokkor lenses. This lens is near perfect, especially for the price. The images are professional and razor sharp. Unlocks all FF Sensor features. His favorite application is indoor portraits. You can pause it forever to get the perfect shot every time, or open it fully and immerse…
