For any bokeh lovers out there this lens will give you enough shallow depth of field to fulfill your dreams. The lens also features a large wide open aperture of F2. In my opinion this is a better street photography focal length and a great switch up when you’re tired of the ol 50. Very similar to a 50mm BUT if you are plagued with how narrow the 50mm is like me you will appreciate the 45mm focal length for simply giving us a slightly wider field of view. I’ve heard a couple of people complain about this not being a traditional focal length but to me, ITS AMAZING! In the sample images below take note of the field of view. On the topic of focal lengths this little guy sits in an akward position at 45mm. It’s lightweight, compact AND gives you amazing results very comparable to something like the 50mm. You can count on this lens to never get in the way. This is big for people who travel or shoot street photography and are always on the move. It has a very small profile almost making it “pancake” like. I will go even further by saying this is the BEST Minolta SR lens ever made. Everyone seems to be so focused on the 50 1.4 or the 58mm 1.4 but no one ever gives any credit to this little guy. The MInolta Rokkor 45mm f2 - This is an absolute beast of a lens, a hidden gem you may add.
