Overview

The Chiyoko Super Rokkor 50mm f/2.0 is a well-built, dense metal lens with a 10-blade aperture that produces pleasing bokeh. It offers high contrast and saturation, with strong central sharpness even wide open, but exhibits rotational bokeh and noticeable vignetting. Its main weakness is a lack of character compared to the 45mm f/2.8 sibling, which has better bokeh. Potential buyers should watch for rear lens fogging or oiling. It suits Minolta rangefinder enthusiasts seeking a sharp, fast standard lens at a reasonable price.
