It is my first manual lens that I bought
But at that time I used it only as reversed lens for macro. I was not into manual lens world yet
Later on when I already became a MF freak, I converted it to EOS mount.
Well, it glows at wide open. Maybe due to a thin cleaning marks on the rear element.
The bokeh is smooth in some condition, much smoother than Zeiss 50/1.4 C/Y but in other condition it's more horrible than Zeiss (radial bokeh)

i never really grew fond of my copy. it's quite soft wide open (even when on a tripod) and it glows too much for my tastes. it might look good for B&W but i prefer using my canon FD 50/1.4 and M42 super takumar 50/1.4. _________________ flickr? |

Hi Guys,
I'm still very new to photography but I just bought one of these lenses for $10 at a garage sale. It was filthy but I have cleaned it up and it looks very good.
What I want to know is the meaning of numbers at the front of the lens rim. Mine has - 3395765
Is this a serial number?
Also, can this lens work on my Nikon D3200?
Thanks in advance. _________________ Minolta MC Rokkor f1.4 50mm

Hi parabellumfoto, yes it's the Lens' serial number, and no the lens won't easily be used on a Nikon, the registration difference is too big, you could possibly use an adapter with a built in lens that will give you infinity focus, but the IQ will suffer, or you would have to do some lens mount surgery.
But for $10 you can hold onto it till/if you get a mirrorless camera. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...

I really love this lens!
Here are some more shots. Marvellous macro but you need to be careful because the depth of field is very narrow when aperture is wide open.
My bee shot is a good example.
And this ..........
Both images were sharpened in post processing. _________________ Minolta MC Rokkor f1.4 50mm
