Description from the seller

[Excellent+++ / Fully Functional] MINOLTA AF 50mm F1.4 (22) Legendary Prime Lens

■ Overview

A Monumental Milestone of 1985 — The Vintage of Vintages!

Released in 1985 alongside the historic Minolta α-7000 (Maxxum 7000)—the camera that revolutionized the world of autofocus photography—this legendary prime lens is famous for its rich "Minolta Colors" and stunningly smooth bokeh.
It is highly regarded for its beautiful color rendering and solid performance, even on modern digital sensors. Features the native Sony/Minolta A-mount, and can also be used on modern Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras with a compatible adapter.

■ Condition

Considering this lens was made in the mid-1980s, it is beautifully preserved and remains in fantastic condition.

Appearance: Excellent+++ condition with only minimal signs of use. The barrel looks exceptionally beautiful and well-maintained for its age. Please refer to the photos.

Functional: 100% Fully Functional. Tested strictly on a compatible camera body. The autofocus (AF) works quickly and accurately. Aperture blades are snappy and completely oil-free. The manual focus ring operates very smoothly.

Optics: Outstanding, crystal-clear glass. No fungus, no haze, and no scratches. It is rare to find this vintage lens with such clean optics. (Please excuse only the most microscopic dust typical of vintage lenses, which has absolutely no effect on shooting).
