Looking foward to samles. It's a great lens. It's the big gap in my system right now, that and the 20mm.

Yikes, that price is right up there with the best of them. Lens seems small if the first picture is any indication.

Before the popularity of MF lenses for mirrorless cameras, I picked up in Japan, the Minolta MD 85mm f2, for 1000 yen (about $10)
Absolutely perfect condition |

Nice review, but I wouldn't call it the best portrait lens, I'd pick Canon's 85/1.2 long beforehand, and possibly Pentax 85/1.9 and 1.8's.

No-no.. ))) I had 85/1.2 aspherical. Minolta is a much more interesting artist. Maybe L version is not so dull as asph but I still didn't get experience with L |

For 85mm I have the Zeiss contax 85 1.4, Zeiss Contax 85 2.8, Minolta MC 2 85 1.7 and Jupiter 9 85 2.0, waiting on a Helios 40 to come in. The Minolta 85 1.7 is the 85mm lens that I use the most. It’s sharpness wide open equals the Zeiss 1.4, slightly behind the Zeiss 2.8 and way ahead of the jupiter 9.
Of course the Zeiss have much higher contrast, however I prefer the Minolta colors and sometimes the Zeiss contrast can become too much for portraits. Plus the Minolta bokeh is much smoother than both of the Zeiss lenses and slightly behind the Jupiter. The best competition I have found when it comes to the Minolta 85 1.7 bokeh is the Minolta MC 2 58 1.2, Tokina 90 2.5 macro, Tair 11a and Gottingen 135 2.8. Of course sample variation applies.
The Minolta is far ahead when it comes to focus feel and mechanical quality. Would be interested to compare to a takumar 85 at some point... A Minolta MC 2 with 15-20 aperture blades would be without equal... |
