My evaluation after more than one year, it’s very positive, this lens it’s a very good lens, sharp like a razor and defined. Easy to use, dozens of photographic shots testify to the goodness and quality of this vintage lens. Bokeh isn’t so good as probably expected…, but it performs a really sharp and well defined image. Colours rendition, it’s very good. I like colours of this little Minolta lens, perhaps personal taste…. I can recommend it, has completely satisfied me. *** March 2024 *** After some time after purchase, this little old photographic lens confirms its overall quality and great flexibility and ease of use every time it is used. A truly practical, useful, fun and easy to use lens. I can only confirm my positive opinions.
