Re: Anyone Use a Adaptor for Minolta MD lenses to K Mount body?

I have that EDIT - The Fotodiox adapter it works just fine and fits the lens and cameras well. Here are some shots with the Minolta MD 50 1.4. I really love the bokeh out of this lens. I do notice that I get a bit of a impressionistic glow on some images like the tulips shot below. i think it may have something to do with being wide open and the glass in the adapter creating the effect.  That one, like all of them, was processed in Lightroom with a few tweaks. But it can be very sharp. Here's a few images: some were on the K-1 and some on the KP :
