Description from the seller
Minolta AF 50mm F1.4
Serial Number:
59105797
Thank you very much for viewing this classic Minolta autofocus standard prime lens.
Introduced in 1985, the Minolta AF 50mm F1.4 was part of the early generation of the Minolta A-mount autofocus system.
Its natural 50mm perspective makes it highly versatile for everyday photography, portraits, street scenes, travel, and general use. The bright F1.4 maximum aperture is particularly useful for available-light photography and also provides greater control over shallow depth of field and subject separation.
As a fast standard prime from the formative period of Minolta's autofocus SLR system, it remains an appealing lens both for practical photography and for collectors of classic Minolta equipment.
