Hi all,

I use two Minolta 50mms on my apsc mirrorless which certainly serve as decent portrait lenses but what about other lenses (greater focal length) (to be used on my Minolta 35mm body) ?

Thanks!

85mm f1.7 is a great portrait lens, but unfortunately it is expensive, over $300 usually.

Yeah I found it on ebay. It's worth saving for I think

I have the 85mm F1.7 MC
Great on digital or film

The 100mm F2.5 MC is amazing and not too expensive
I prefer it to the the 105mm F2.5 Nikkor
