If someone were to ask for a short list of "must-have" manual focus lenses for under $50, the Konica 50/1.7 in AR mount would be first on the list. This lens compares well with the much more expensive Leica 50/2 Summicron. The Konica AR mount is a "dead system", no Digital SLR was ever made to shoot them. The system never made it into the "Autofocus SLR Age". If you shoot film- Konica cameras tend to be reliable, I have an FT-1 and T-3 in good working condition. If you shoot with a Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera- adapters are cheap. I use a Konica Adapter with my u43 Olympus. For my 50/1.7 Konica... I made a Rangefinder coupling to use on the Leica.
