Minolta MD 50mm f1.7 Prime Manual Lens for Minolta Cameras
Don't have a 55mm f/1.7 -- all mine are 50mm. The 55mm is a bit older and seems to flare a bit more from various reviews , Slightly longer focal length tends to improve bokeh. The newer 50mm MD version uses some plastic, so focus isn't quite as silky. It's also smaller and lighter, taking a 49mm filter instead of 55mm.

Minolta 50mm F/1.4 vs F/1.7 . Hi all, I'm currently using a 50mm f/2.2 lens that came with my Minolta x-370 and have considered getting another lens that could perhaps be better for lower light or indoor photos. I've noticed the f/1.7 lenses are a bit cheaper on Ebay than the f/1.4 lenses, I was curious of the pros and cons to the two and what.

Minolta X500 + Minolta MD 50mm F1.7 (2420) Catawiki
Now I have two 50mm f/1.7 MD lenses and an older 55mm f/1.7 MC. My understanding is that the 50mm f/1.7 MC and MD Rokkor-X lenses were the same optically but that the MD Rokkor-X had better coating. The last lens, the plain MD, may also be the same optically but it is in a less heavy mount. I find that the 50mm f/1.7 MD is extremely sharp.
