... made 4 different 50mm lenses. Minolta Maxxum 50mm f1.7 is the most common standard Minolta lens. Minolta Maxxum 50mm f1.4 is similar to the f1.7 but with a larger aperture and some say better image quality. Minolta Maxxum 50mm f2.8 macro. This slow focusing, close up lens is one of the sharpest lenses of all time.Works well as a m=normal lens if one is wiling to accept the slower focusing Minolta Maxxum 50mm f3.5. Slightly sharper even than the f2.8 macro! Slightly faster focusing but the macro magnification is less at 2:1. Probably my favorite Minolta lens. Auctions shown below for Minolta 50 mm lens.
