With Konica Autoreflex TC arrived 3 lenses. The 28mm, 135mm f2.5 and 50mm f1.4.
Here are some photos with 50mm. I can say that it is very soft at 1.4. It is not a sharp lens. The 50mm f1.7 is much much better in this regards.

Today I had some time more to play with 50mm f1,4.
Maybe I was wrong... it is not bad lens. The photographer is bad.

This one is wide open:

And this is f2,8:

It takes awhile to get used too a new lens, so don't make a judgement until about after a month of solid use.. Very Happy I found out the hard way....there's always a learning curve with each new lens. The first ones seem a little dull and the second set have the better light I think.

someone (a good lens repairer in China) told me that the rear lens group of some sets of late version of KONICA 50/1.4 (8 blades) are wrong installed and cause the image produced by this lens very soft, he met some KONICA 50/1.4 like that and don't know why. If you have the late version you can check.
Luckily I own an early version of 50/1.4 (6 blades) and it makes very sharp (for old lenses) images wide open.
