Just got my em5 and 3 lenses, including this 30-year old vintage Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm f1.4 and find it really working well with portraits as well as still life. I am a painter hunting for moments mostly for references for my works.

Still new with a lot to learn, admittedly. Will appreciate some sound advice on portrait/street and fine art photography. Thanks!

Found this lens in an "antique" shop yesterday for the cost of two cups of coffee. I find it very easy to focus. It seems to be more contrasty than it's older sibling the MC 55mm f1.7, which is good for subjects in the shade at dusk. I also find the bokeh delicious, even when stopped down to f5.6. The resolution is good. I cropped some to the photos to about a third to a quarter of original and can see good details. I'll have to make room in my bag to carry this lens at all times.

Hi,
Welcome- sort of- to the forum.
I like you first posting.

 

[cluber77]

I’ve also got this lense, I’m waiting to get the adapter from eBay, I really like to take some shots with this lense and my GX80 camera.

I can see my next purchase if going to be a MD to m4/3rds adapter so I can use my 50 f/1.7 and 58 f/1.2!

 

[Apollo T.]

@mcgrillro, there several mfrs whose stuff is readily aavailable on Amazon- approx $25. Since I have an Oly body and a Panny I bought an adaptor for each. Minolta made well regarded glass. Craig’s list for your area should be a valuable resource for cheap good lenses.
Enjoy

Thanks Apollo T - I'll stick with the two Minolta MD lenses I have for now, as by the time i pay postage the cost increases very significantly unfortunately. I am in NZ so not able to grab the great deals those i the US have access to.
