Konica Minolta AF 50mm f/2.8 Macro Lens I think this lens would be a "must have" for anyone who wants to do closeup photography. It focuses quietly, rapidly and smoothly. I bought it mainly to shoot plants and flowers. Then, thinking I had more urgent uses, I used it at home and took it to the bank to take pictures of my jewelery--something I should have done years ago to create a record of important pieces for the insurance company, police, whomever. I also tried it on coins, and stamps. I could not ask for clearer brighter, better pictures. Very impressive, indeed, without any computer enhancement. Both circle lens light and regular flash worked well with it. I used it on Minolta xi cameras. I can only imagine what it will do on Sony Alpha 350, 700 and 900, even 100 or 200. I am planning to find out soon. I recommend this lens to everyone interested in closeup photographic work.

1984 (model 2562-600) A-Mount 50mm 1.4 Purchased in Mint condition. Plastic but sturdy build. Autofocus hunts in lowlight. Will plan to use in manual focus but serviceable in auto even though I would not recommend for a professional studio shoot. Nice hobby/pet project lens. Lightweight. Super sharp center mass at f1.4. Amazing colors and bokeh. Depth assist focus is a little unreliable with this lens. Continuous dmf is not an option at all. But if you’re like me and don’t care about that tech stuff this is an AMAZING lens especially for the price. Gives almost a film quality aesthetic. Definitely worth the purchase.
