Well done Johnny !
Minolta has excellent line of lenses.
MD or MC, their line of line of lenses are top performers.
Now with the advent of mirrorless bodies, these are excellent choices.
Your results are a proof.

Yep, your 100% right, Of all the one's he tested the only one I like is the 50mm f/1.7 that is a awesome lens, and the Minolta MD 50mm 1.4 is just a tad better. The IQ is amazing from the lenses, Along with Minolta colors

You have some great images here. I invested in the Sony auto focus adapter for Minolta lenses which works adequately, but it seems there is a bit of light loss, due to the mirror, that the light has to pass through. Consequently, a higher ISO is required, than with a DSLR. Something to keep in mind for anyone thinking about the quite pricey adapter.

Janos, Thank you much, Yes I have a Minolta auto focus adaptor, LA4 or something like that, I don't shoot it much because most my Minolta lenses are manual focus, however, if I shoot say a AF Minolta 50mm f/1.7 prime I don't have to change much, it's the longer lenses that I have to look out for, but I shoot in RAW and in manual mode about 100% of the time.
