I messed up on this one. I shouldn't of bid on it.  The rubber grip is missing. If I had looked at all the pics carefully I'd noticed it. I'm blaming it on the severe cold I have.  I really over paid on this one.  
Anyone on the forum have one?

I'm leaning toward decentered element. 1st pic I used the Minolta 2/45 at f2. Second pic I used the Minolta 1.9/55 at f1.9.
I also tried the 2/50 with the same result as the 2/45. I used in camera metering.All 3 lenses metered at 1/125s.
2/45

I am curious if you could take an image out about 4 ft away ,and upload those images @ different apertures like you did above, Focusing on the same spot each time.
Cheers

I wish I could. Maximum distance I can shoot with this adapter on Canon EOS is about 1.5 feet with this lens. But I will shoot another set tomorrow and make sure the focus points are the same. These were in a hurry but i believe they were at MFD, Tomorrows set will be at max focus distance.

Thanks , that was shot at the max distance I could get with my adapter. This lens gives me less distance then my Minolta 50's. The shot below is the same plant, actually the same bloom, taken with My Minolta Rokkor X 45 f2. This shot is at f2, at max distance.
Minolta 2/45 at f2
Minolta 1.9/ 55 at f8 reposted shot for comparison of size

I think your current composition is looking ok IMO- dont see no glow . With the limited focal range I would concentrate on smaller subjects or subjects with less clutter even if they are big . I am sure you will agree that better lighting conditions would definately improve image quality. Since you are using a DSLR I would experiment taking photos from different positions / angles -to see if there are inherent increases in the picture quality.
Looking forward to more samples

Thanks, I will. Hopefully I can make time earlier in the day. Good point about shooting at different angles, and a smaller target.
I don't see any glow either, but I'm wondering whether if it will reappear when I retest at wide open.

The first image in the thread at f1.9 can be OK. It looks like the shot is misfocused. The focus is on the leafs not in the flower.

Just out of curiosity last night I pulled one of my Rokkor 55/1.9 and mounted it on Sammy NX1000 ( my favorite mirrorless). After I shot some small type from ca. 20 ft. I couldn't believe my eyes. That glass was tack sharp wide open as well as @ 5.6 and @8. Center AND corners. I don't see it too often and I own over 150 ( one hundred and fifty) legacy lenses.... |
This lens is known to be very sharp, may be the sharpest.minolta normal wide open.
I noted that some auto version lenses are sharper than the MC1 ones.
Another old rokkor great lens is the Auto/Mc1 2/100. Very good resolution, contrast and bokeh.
And the 1,9 is very good too. |

55/1.9 vs 55/1.7 is basically a tradeoff between sharpness and bokeh smootheness.
Both are great in my opinion.
