yep, but is it good?
What difference does F1.7 make as oppose to F2.8 btw?
well so where are saying get the minolta one would you say 125 is too much for a so called cracking lens ???? is this just too much or am i just tight lol
The Sony 50mm SAM on Warehouse Express does seem a good deal considering what you're getting. However, you can pick up the minoltas a bit more cheaply I think.
Here is a minolta 24mm which is going damn cheap Apparently they're fantastic lenses.
