I have seen a lot of talk on here about the Minolta 1.7 50mm lens, I have had a look on fleabay for them and there is a lot of them on there so how now this lens has got my attention, has anyone got some pics they can post to see how good a lens this is, preferably low light shots or even better some night shots.

My word so the £80 for it would be well worth it then

Sold, thanks for the help , as the a200 NR isnt as good as the a700 Im guessing the fact that its 1.7 will help me keep the ISO lower to reduce the noise, is that right?

Here's two more sample images.
Fence-jumping horse in a poorly illuminated indoor school.
Dynax 7D, Minolta AF 50 mm 1:1.7 lens; f/1.7, 1/100 s, ISO 3200/36°; in-camera JPEG, applied some noise reduction. The shutter speed was a bit slow for this fast-moving action but both aperture and sensor speed already were at their limits. In circumstances like this, f/1.7 is a perfectly usable working aperture.
Autumn leaves of a car roof.
Dynax 7D, Minolta AF 50 mm 1:1.7 lens; f/5.6, 1/500 s, ISO 200/24°; converted from raw with ACR 4.5, applied some colour saturation boost. Note the fine bokeh!
