Opinion:Purchased for a very low price along with a Konica Autoreflex T camera that I returned shortly after, I found this lens fantastic, with beautiful colors and a superb blur rendering - I use it on Fuj XT-3 and Fuji XT-1 with adatattaore URTH purchased on Amazon, all in manual. The yield is superior to the Fuji XF 56 1.2, the colors are extremely more beautiful and saturated - a spectacle
Pros:Value for money; very strong character; pleasantness of the out-of-focus; sharpness (especially from f2 up); Price in the used: if you have patience it is quietly located at 70 - 80 euros.
Cons:manual focus (but it's not even a flaw... at the time there was no AF);
Opinion:I took it for use on Sony a5000 and A7; then sold... and then recompose to use it on Fuji. A unique and unrepeatable lens. No 50, f.1.8, 1.7, 1.4 or 1.2 has its blur: that it is not only "pushed" (close to what you could have with an 85, more than what I could find in a simple fifty), but it is also (and above all!) very characteristic, particular. I also have the Konica 50 1.4 and 50 1.7: that after (re)bought the 57 are stuck in the drawer, not being able to compete, at the level of overall yield, with the 57 in question. the site "bhula.de" labels it as soft to t.a. and would make him prefer the 50 1.4: true, in part, that the 50 is sharper at t.a., but with much more ordinary and "banal" bokeh The lens, eye, it is true that at t.a. is not exactly a blade, but it must be emphasized, however, that the lens is usable even at 1.4! In B/N I find it absolutely ECCEZIONALE! I would say that this is the field that suits him the most. I know that if he plays with Rokkor 58 1.4 which, unfortunately, I have never tried.
Pros:57mm perfect for portraiture. Excellent construction. Sharp from fear just closed to f/2.
Cons:Knowing that these lenses no longer exist...
Opinion:Magnificent lens, perhaps today little used and preferred to more 'emblazoned manual lenses on the market. Very sharp in the center and extremely high performance at the edges. Definitely better than the Minolta Rokkor 58mm to which however I prefer the creamier and softer blush. It's amazing how a 60s lens can play with modern portrait lenses on the same shot. On the same series of studio shots, I finally preferred those born from Konica. Three-dimensionality, contrast, color toning, all really over the top. Strong, heavy construction, it is a pleasure to ercherate on its fluid and precise dial. The only downside, at least for me, is the not-so-pasty bokeh as the Minolta, although in any case decidedly unique. They are both excellent lenses and it is, in fact, really difficult to prefer one over the other. Finding it on the Bay at a price close to the centennial shouldn't be a problem. A purchase definitely recommended and bearer of creative satisfactions.
