Why buy the Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.4?

  • It is the fast version of Minolta's classic standard lens, ideal for low light and soft, blurred backgrounds.

  • It fits Minolta SR mount SLRs such as the SRT series, X-300, X-500, X-700 and XD. It does not fit Minolta AF (A mount) cameras.

  • f/1.4 lets in about half a stop more light, giving you faster shutter speeds indoors and a shallower depth of field.

  • Yes. With a simple adapter it works on most mirrorless cameras in manual focus.

  • Portraits, street photography, evenings and any situation where you want a natural view and lots of light.
