Re: Minolta MD Rokkor 50 mm f/1.4 (MD-II)

The MD II was available in two different versions.
Your first version with 55 mm filter thread is a "Planar" lens construction with 7 lenses in 5 groups like the older MD I and the second version with 49 mm filter thread is an "Ultron" lens construction with 7 lenses in 6 groups like MD III.
I have both versions and in direct comparison the newer version is a tad more contrasty.
