About this item

Minolta 50mm f1.7 fast prime lens nifty fifty

A fast 50mm lens is one the closest focal lengths you can get to the human eye.
This means low amounts of distortion and a similar field of view.
When you see a scene you want to capture, the 50mm will capture that as close to how you see it as possible.
moving closer or farther will show you more or less of the scene, forcing you to move around more.
Every time you do, you learn more about framing, distance and a workable image.
this lens performs well in low light conditions. It is truly one of my favorite 50mm.

some good examples of images taken by this lens are below.
I showed this images because you can see the sharpness of the lens and the shallow depth pf field and pleasing bokeh that it renders.
it's color is also quite accurate and with strong color
