MINOLTA NORMAL LENSES
MINOLTA NORMAL LENSES
Minolta made a wide selection of normal (AKA "standard") lenses from 45mm to 58mm -- from f2.8 to f1.2. Most people seem to have a favorite, but some people just can't decide and have more than one. Admittedly, there is a big difference between the 45mm f2.0, at one end, and the 58mm f1.2 at the other. The former leans toward being a compact, wide-angle, while the latter has large, fast, telephoto tendencies. Fortunately, normal lenses are often inexpensive, so why not have more than one?
