Pros: Solid, powerful, sharp, safe, f/1.7, very low cost, construction, blurred by scream.

Cons: Flare, original hood unobtainable, MAF difficult (you need to have a very trained eye).

Opinion: Extraordinary optics for portraiture. I use it with my Contax RTS analog of '82, and with a special adapter ring on my DSLRs. The rendering in the portrait is really surprising and superb so much so that, if I have to make portraits, I use only this optics: there is no comparison! Nothing to say to current and modern optics, but lenses like this, with almost 50 years on their shoulders, still have a lot to say and to give. Rating 10/10.

Pros: Solid construction, high resolving power, excellent microcontrast

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I have two (one AEJ and one MMJ), of very similar performance, which I use exclusively on Contax film cameras. Since the eighties this optics was distinguished by an excellent uniformity between center and edges, excellent microcontrast, cold color rendering. Preferable to CZ 50/1.4, unless maximum opening of the latter is required. It does not disfigure at all when compared with modern optics, except for a certain degradation in the images with a framed light source. Ultimately, a gem...

Pros: Very sharp for 120€!

Cons: Very noticeable flare without lens hood, focus ring with a lot of play, if lens overused (3-4 ° rotation without changing in the slightest)

Opinion: Optics of excellent quality, purchased for about € 120 in about mid-2021 (+ urth adapter at € 29), for that price it is rare to find better! Maybe canon fd 50/55mm f/1.4 or 1.2 would be better, but I've never tried them... To use it at its best you need a lens hood to fight the very noticeable flare! (universal can also be found at 10€) I don't know if it can be a different model, but my specimen has only 6 opening slats, it still produces a flashy hexagonal bokeh. The large aperture also allowed me to try two skyrocketing photos. On a sony alpha 5000 you take beautiful photos, I use it for portraits and some situations in nature. I also recommend to amateurs like me! When I have some time I publish the photos taken with this beauty!

Pros: Sharpness, three-dimensionality

Cons: Flare

Opinion: They are cheap and I took it pretty much for Sfizio. I have to say that it has exceptional sharpness and three-dimensionality. The only problem is the dramatic Lens Flare at F Downs in backlight. It is sturdy and not too heavy, the rings are very fine. I thought I was just portraits but I found myself using it in other contexts, as moving subjects in some rooms lit in candle

Pros: For the price all

Cons: ------

Opinion: Superb optics, taken with a bargain at just €80, and I have to say one of the best 50 I've Had. Surely it stops everything if you reason in terms of "peso\\power". small, it mounts on any mirrorless without any problems. I have few shots made with this lens, but I must say that even a simple flower takes on a character all its own. Obviously I talk about the yield on full frame, on aps-c I do not express myself. Try it because if you like vintage lenses in my opinion it is one of the Best. The bokeh is really peculiar, quite creamy despite being "only" F 1.7, but still it's a bit "swirly", which makes it really unique.
