I got this lens in a small antique shop almost 2 years ago, however I never got to use it on my digital camera. The lens itself is very similar to Minolta Rokkor f1.7/50 ( I believe it was copied from it ), but you can feel that the plastic-like construction which is not very nice.
The lens:
I found the lens to be an OK performer, as you would expect from a cheap, fast, 50mm lens. It flair`ed easily, contrast was average and so was the sharpness, but I did love the bokeh.
I made some test shots with it. 1st is wide open, then f5.6 and f8. ISO was 200 and no PP was added.
After making these quick shots, I turned my attention to my cat`s, that found the open window very interesting . I enhanced contrast just a bid on these.
f2.8
f1.8
~f2-2.8
f1.8
You can surely make nice pictures with it, but it does lack some things that, for instance, the MD f1.7/50 does offer, so I`d go for it instead.
Hope you liked it . _________________ I have many great Russian cameras and lenses for sale on my ebay account, please check it out: http://www.ebay.com/sch/piksius/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3686
