Sony or Minolta 50MM F1.4

I was wondering, til when only i can have the chance to own this "night lens". I called it as night lens because it has the ability to capture good quality and bright picture even though the environment is quite dark with it's F1.4. In addition that it can produce pictures with great bokeh.

The Sony 50MM F1.4 is far more expensive compare to the Minolta as stated on the Sony websites. Although the Sony lens look more brand compatible, but i guess I'll just go for Minolta since it has the same mount and price are more affordable compare to original Sony.

But then, i think i could only own this lens after a long while since before this there're still lots of wish list items which i have to obtain.

Some sample pictures by 50MM F1.4 below:~

Thanks Dpreview for picture sources.

My Next Target - The Beercan 70-210 F4

Since my wife and I have already obtained our main target in the wish list. Guess it's about time for myself to get back to my photography line. Long ago, I have been recommended by a LYN members, Albert on one of the very great lens for my Alpha. It's called the beercan.

The Minolta Beercan

Although it's not a Sony lens (which is so expensive), but it is far better than some of the current Sony lens since it already have most of the standard and common features required by a photographer. Especially when it can be obtained with a reasonable price.

Also I should thanks to my brother for for spreading the poison at me as he's too going to receive his beercan very soon.
