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

The Minolta 28-135 at 50mm is not better than the primes. The 28-135 is more like the Sony-Zeiss lenses than other Minoltas. It is a nice old zoom if rather heavy, but is smaller and lighter than the Sony FE 28-135 F4 G OSS.

FWIW: the Minolta 28-105 is really good at 50mm.
