Actually, this is a little known piece of photographic heritage: Minolta some time back. I would only estimate that it was not 13 years back but somewhere 25-30 years back. At that time Minolta did their normal mechanical cameras, they were OK, nothing special and suddenly totally out of blue they did something absolutely ingenious: 50/1.8. It was a default optic with many of their cameras along with their 50/1.4 and it cost no money. However, what that 50/1.8 lens did image-was was absolutely remarkable. Even the Zeiss Planar lenses did not work as interesting as that Minolta 50/1.8 did. It was pretty much the only serious product Minolta even did and I am sure it as a accident and thy themselves did not even knew how spectacular the Minolta 50/1.8 was…Yep, those time are long gone..,
