Re: Minolta 50mm F1.7 vs F1.4

I don't know what to believe. Kurt Munger wrote "The Minolta AF 28-135mm lens is described in various internet chat rooms as the "secret handshake" lens, because long ago, a couple of idiots got suckered into believing Minolta produced this lens, and sold it at cost as a "thank you" to the loyal Minolta customers of the day."

On one hand its ludicrous but Its almost believable since they are now out of the photography business...
