I have two MC Rokkor-X PG 50mm f1.4 version. This lens really surprised me. The combination of optical quality and vintage look is hard to beat for the price.

Minolta lenses are by far my favorite vintage lenses. Nothing compares to their build and image quality.

Thanks for the review of this wonderful lens. I have own Minolta camera and lenses since the 70' s and I completely agree with your comments about the color rendering of these lenses. Keep up the good work! Kind regards from Mexico.

My very first vintage lens was a Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm f1.4. It taught me how to use & appreciate manual, vintage, time-tested lenses & since then, grew in my passion for vintage lenses in tandem w/ my old Sony a6000. Had to let go of it then due to fungus. But after a while, I felt the regret of losing it, esp after learning how to clean & maintain vintage lenses! I still long to own a set of vintage Minolta lenses. They're sharp, unique in color rendition, amazing bokeh & nice skin tones for portraits. God bless vintageoptiks! More power to you not just in creating & sharing these fantastic content, but also by being an encouragement to a community of vintage lens lovers. 😊

Going back into your older reviews. All entertaining. Minolta is the sleeper vintage lens. What I am getting with a 30 dollar Minolta Celtic 135mm 2.8 is extraordinary.

No matter which Minolta lens you buy you will never be disappointed. In my opinion Minolta glass is some of the best there is, on a par with Leica even, in some models.

I am new to vintage lenses and I came across to uour channel. I enjoy how you review each lenses and what their characteristics are. Amazed how vintage lenses give another meaning to each images we take specially nowadays that almost all images produce were quite perfect clinically. I am eager to dive deep on vintage lenses and I find your channel very helpful. Every content and effort you do is like a vintage lens. It’s a gem! Glad that it was recommended by youtube to me. The giveaway is a bonus! Keep doing what you do! New subscriber here! 🙏🏼☺️

I'm always fascinated by the colors produced by Minolta lenses. I don't know but there is something special when looking on some photographs taken with these Minolta lenses. Really nice work on your videos, I'm a big fan :)

Thank you for this excelent revieuw. I have the MC Rokkor 58 F 1.4 whose bokeh is wonderful. Minolta lenses are seriously underestimated.

I always show people one of your vids when they don’t have a clue what I like about vintage lenses. And yes, count me in for the giveaway.

I've been looking at a few vintage lenses review but yours is the one I like the most so far, with a variety of scenes that I wanted to see if I were to get the lens. Would love to try my luck on the giveaway.

Got this one, an excellent lens. Thanks again for your excellent work, very consice and well edited.

Wow, that one looks something special. Rare to find a lens that does super blurriness and super sharpness all in the one package!!

Dear, you don't have to send me this lens because I already have a copy. It's a formidable lens. I also use the rokkor 28mm f 3.5 but the 50mm is my favourite. Your reviews are fantastic. Thank you for this.

Minolta mount is one of my favorite. I usually have a problem with the Canon FD mount. Looks like this lens is a gem.

I guess I'm in for the one without the X! hehehe. Great review and thanks for continuing to give away some of your lenses!

That ricoh autoshot photo made me smile haha, I bought that camera because of your video and i really like it. i'm feeling lucky today, count me in! Let's see what the future holds..

Thank you for nice presentation of the Minolta 50mm lens. In the very early 70es I purchased a Minolta with a 58mm lens. I would certainly like to adapt this MC Rokkor PG 1.4/50 to my mirrorless camera for that vintage look.

I enjoy watching your KZfaq documentary lenses presentation. I even start doing DIY CONVERSION of old fixed lenses to be use on my E mount. Thanks for the inspiration given.

Of course I would like to be in the giveaway drawing. I've bought 3 lenses that you have recommended in the last year. You always have an excellent take on vintage lenses and DIY projects..

Sure i'm in on the giveaway. I second 👍 the Minolta colors. Is it me or do they kinda have a tan color like feel? Earth colors come out especially pleasing. It makes portraits look kinda classy for some reason.

I live in France and I wish I have one those beautiful optics. I love your channel, keep creating!

I like your video review, this is one of my favorite lens brands. I fell in love with the images captured and I'm waiting for another vintage lens review. Thank you I'm from Indonesia

I have recently started to appreciate Minolta cameras and the 50mm f1.4 reviewed here would make a great addition to my collection.

Excellent and informative review as usual. Have read quite a few great reviews of this lens.

Beautiful photos! Thanks for the review. I'd be very interested in trying it on my SRT 202. Loved your BW photos. Looks like a roll of FP4 would be it's best friend. North American "X" here.

I enjoy when you do a review on minolta lens,the colors and saturation they produce are great, which makes them my favorite vintage lens!!

Can you send it to Portugal? If so, count me in for the giveaway! That's a fantastic lens, a true gem. Those shots came out so nice. Thanks, and see you soon! 👍

I wouldn't mind getting an other 50mm f1.4! I have a Nikkor 50mm 1.4 AIS and I just love it. This one seems interesting as well :)

I really appreciate all your vintage lens related videos. I am in. Thanks

I'll definitely want to participate in the giveaway! Thank you for the awesome review, the lens and images look fantastic!

Wow what a great little lens! Fingers crossed for the giveaway!

I would love to get this lens. Not only am I fascinated with fast vintage lenses (though all I have right now is a 50mm SMC Pentax 1.7), but I love the idea of using Minolta lenses on Sony bodies, since they're connected through their shared history.

My Olympus EM1 MkII thanks you for the opportunity to shoot at F/1.4. I'm in the UK by the way.

Love your content. The older MC Versions with all metal and glass construction are real lookers.

I am big Minolta fan and it was big fun for me to see this review. I would love to have 1.4 lens for my xg-1. Looking forward to see what you will test next.

Cool lens indeed. Rokkors are awesome

This lens is a masterpiece of the classical era and your review is detailed and very informative. I would like to participate in the giveaway, if not too late.

Appreciate the effort you put in your reviews with various relevant examples all the time. Keep it up! :) I'm in for this giveaway, as the painterly renderings made me a biggg fan of it! ♥️ This lens will be a nice addition to my gear. :)

These images show how good the lens is. I wish I could get it....

I'm in! Would love to be able to use this awesome Rokkor lens. Thank you!

Would very much like to own this lens. But I always feel that way after watching your videos. If I don't win, it seems to be in my purchase range. Of the 20 vintage lenses I've bought over the past year, it would be my 1st Minolta.

Thanks for a great video! Even among the vintage lens crowd, people tend to hone in on a narrow range of popular models (Carl Zeiss, Canon FD) and neglect some of the lesser-known lenses, so thanks for introducing us to this unusual lens. I would like to be entered in the contest.

I always learn something new watching your videos! Makes me want to get more old glass. Lucky I have a MD to Nex adapter for my Sony A7iir!

Nice video as usual! This lens is so sharp and give fantastic colours! Cool! I'm participating! :)

I want it too! :-) Great idea, great review. I recently started adapting an old Minolta macro lens to my Sony A6500, and the enthusiasm for waste glass is growing. Greetings from Cologne!

Love to take part in the give away. great looking image rendering!

Sharpness is gorgeous

I would love to take part on this! great review! Awesome rendering of this lens!

I would love to add this Minolta lens to my collection of lenses. It would be a great lens to adapt to my Fujifilm X-E3.

Love to take part in the give away. Great video as always.

Wonderful review. I enjoyed your previous DIY project...looking forward for more projects. If I win this giveaway, this will be my 1st Minolta vintage lens.

Still waiting for the Helios 40 review :) Would love the lens, i need to feed my new obsession :P

Thanks for your work man! I'm new to film photography, so your videos have been helpful. Just got my first roll back and now I'm as hooked as can be. Would love to shoot with this lens so I'm definately in for the giveaway :)

Love your channel and style. Lenses from the 70’s are my favorite! I would love to be included in the giveaway drawing if there is still some room. 📷❤️

Great channel. I jumped on the Nikkor 180mm and the Pentax SMC 50/1.2, and the latter has become a carry lens - its bokeh is stunning. Being a teen in the 70's, your music resonates. Please enter me into your contest if not too late. Thank you.

That would be perfect to fit on my Minolta X-370 film SLR! Right now I only have a lens that closes to f/2...

Seems to produce wonderful soap bubble bokeh on top of all. Minolta lenses were gems and what a pity they are not made under their majestic name anymore.

Love to try this lens, I've got a Minolta MC W.Rokkor-SG 28mm f/3.5 ... but it's not for portraits

I have a mint copy of the X version, very nice with film, too. If I'm randomly picked, please give it to someone who hasn't had some Minolta goodness.

Thanks you for the great review. I'd love to have that lens.

I'd really like to win this lens. I only used Nikon for a couple of years and recently started to try out other lens manufacturers lenses on my cameras. It's crazy how much of a character some of them have. Current favorite is the Biometar 80/2.8 older Exakta version:D

Yes I have many I would like something

Excellent video. I love your intros and music/SFX. Big fan of Minolta, here. It would be great to see your take on a comparison of the different Minolta 50s out there (more advanced coatings, lighter lenses, etc). I'd like to take part in the giveaway. Thank you for your consideration.

Grumpytim told me to stop by here as I'll like it, I love it!

Awesome video as always!! 🤞 for the contest!

Ooh sweet!! X marks the spot here!! Love your videos!

i have only been subscribed to your channel a couple of months now, i really enjoy these lens review videos, its great to see the differences in each lens and the look that they produce, i wouldnt have a clue which lenses i like without videos like this so thanks. It would be amazing to win a lens like this because it definitely has a 70s nostalgic look to it which is a vibe i try and get in my photos.

Ey, I've been following the channel for some time and I love it! Needless to say that you do an amazing job analyzing these beautiful lenses. I live in Europe :)

Always love your lens reviews has helped me make some lens picks

I’m sure I don’t need yet another 50mm lens, but this one sounds too good to ignore and I’d love to participate in your giveaway! 😀

thank you for your great show / the first time here I'm interested on this lense reminding me starting with srt-101b ... so long sammy

I would like to participate in the giveaway. Also, your videos & lens reviews are much appreciated on this side of the table. Thanks.

Enjoy your channel! Great content. This would be a nice prime for my Minolta X700 I purchased mid '80's.

Great review as always! Would love to add the Minolta to my collection of vintage glass. Greetings from Dubai! 😊

The pictures look really great. Too bad, flange distance is too short for my camera. Great job as always. It's a pleasure to watch your videos!

I would love to participate as I am a bit old school photographer and these kind of vintage lenses really inspire me a lot. I love your contents and I really appreciate the effort you put in making of your videos.

I love using Minolta and Konica lenses! I miss this special lens in my collection!

Great review, and thank you for being these vintage lenses to our attention. I would love a chance to shoot with this one.

Amazing lens and good presentation . Hope to have one Minolta lens

Its awesome to meet new friends in the photography world and realize that you're both subscribed lol

Nice I really like the lens that make pictures more artistic

The sharpness was really interesting to see on a couple of the landscapes, definitely better than a few of the vintage lenses I have seen. Would be awesome to shoot with for the range it gives.

What an awesome lens and beautiful pictures! I especially love the classic car shots. Excellent review, as always. 👍👍👍 I would be glad to participate in the giveaway.

Yes I'd love to participate.. Thought you'd gone on holiday.. I had a pf many moons ago but didnt appreciate it as it was on a 35mm film camera. Wasnt the lens I didnt appreciate it was film cams in general and didnt get back into vintage glass until my dslr days... ps Got an xr rikenon 50/2 L other day (Tomioka built) if you see one grab it.. Ultra sharp and fantastic bokeh for buttons at minute...

Superb video on a cool lens , have recently been getting into vintage lenses … would love to participate in the giveaway , all the best to you Gary

I'd love to use this lens for shooting for my high school yearbook! I'm in on the giveaway!

I like the watercolour look. Reminds me of how a zeiss can have really paint like bokeh. I'd like to participate in the giveaway for sure. Can't go wrong with a "nifty fifty."

OH im sure it would look amazing on my fuji

Great video on what appears to be a beautiful vintage lens. I personally love the flare and bokeh that give vintage lenses their character. While I’m just getting started with them I am really enjoying what I see so far. Please consider me for your give away. And keep up the great videos, Thanks!

Perfect lens and ofc i would love to join the giveaway . Thank you for videos.

Love your style of reviews. Keep em comin'

I would like to participate, I love your reviews especially when you highlight cheaper lenses

great video as always! and of course i would love to have this lens!

Awesome vid as always!! I tested one of these on an X-700 for a store the other week and I instantly wanted it for its bokeh haha I'd love to be part of the giveaway as the price tag they have set is far too much for this broke collector!

Can I take part in the giveaway please! Great lens, really like the bokeh and flares. Keep putting out the great content.

Great review and photo examples, I have a Rokkor 100mm, would love a companion 50. I live in North America. Please! Thank you
