Period of use: 48 months

Strengths:

Simply the best in its class IQ at all focus distances on both APS-C and FF. Almost never flares. This is a lens that "just works" no matter what. The usual Minolta Rokkor smoothness in focus; excellent build quality. Realy cheap too.

Weaknesses:

If only it could do 1:1 without an adapter....

Comments:

Mine is the version with the rubber focus grip. Canon FL 50mm f/3.5 wouldn't be far behind it... if it didn't flare horrifically.
