My Minolta 50/1.7 was $70, and it's much more nifty.

i will say for the record people saying nifty fifty are faggots

i remember going to the store to buy it and i asked for a 50mm 1.8 for Canon

the guy goes, oh a PLASTIC FANTASTIC! with such enthusiasm

I would spend the extra 250 on a 1.4. It's much much nicer. Almost orgasmic (well not L series orgasmic, but compared to the econo lenses).

You can start calling it Nifty Fifty when you get past 10% market share.

Until then, it's a Minolta 50mm f/1.7.

Oh I'm sorry, I guess you must be one of those people who completely ignores the past, like how Minolta invented mass-marketed auto-focus, or how Minolta's vintage equipment is cheaper and better than Canon and Nikon's comparable modern equipment, or how Minolta was the largest camera distributor for a long period in the 80s, etc.

well I wouldn't. If a 50mm prime was my main concern I wouldn't settle on a $90 lens, obviously.

"On January 19, 2006, Konica Minolta announced that it was leaving the camera and photo business [1] and that it would sell a portion of its SLR camera business to Sony as part of its move to pull completely out of the business of selling cameras and photographic film."

lol where's your minolta now
