New lens Arrives
I had to run to the post office before they closed to pick it up. It is the Minolta 50 mm f1.7. I got it from ebay for $101.00 including delivery. Looks good here are a few quick shots.

Frank,
This is the best 100 dollars you could have spent. Congrats on the Original Kit Lens from Minolta! Few lenses in this range produce a duel combination of bokeh and sharpness as this lens. It really has a sweet spot at f/5.6.

Man ... I do not know what got into me when I sold mine ... oh yeah, I had two f/1.4s knocking out of the prime case. It is better served on someone else's camera. Great lens.
Try doing some portrait work with it, Frank. Use several aperture settings and see what happens. It's a lot of fun having that much range to play with. Exciting times ahead, for sure.

Remember: It is usually the GLASS, not the camera (except for moving to Full Frame), that gives you the most improvement in your photography.
