Please visit the following forum thread where you will find further discussion (Q&A) and sample photos taken with this lens on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II: www.motleypixel.com Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.4 conversion to Canon EOS I'm pretty sure this is the most detailed-documented procedure on how to convert a Minolta MD lens to Canon EOS. It is of my opinion that the best Minolta SR mount 50mm primes were the MD Rokkor-X 50/1.2 and 50/1.4. By this time in Minolta's manual SLR lens development they had figured out the best coatings, saved some weight and size, and engineered their best aperture diaphragm (hence MD for Minimum Diaphragm). This lens is Minolta's second gen. MD lens. The last and 3rd generation were perhaps just a good optically, but they builds were of more plastic.
This is a review of the Olympus Zuiko 50mm Macro lens. This is one sharp piece of glass and I highly recommend it to any Olympus shooter. More examples can be found at ShutterSightPhotography.com

It has the bayonet grooves that the lenses (the 14-54, and the 50-200 mm do) which allow the ring flash (RF-1) to just snap right on. It is ONLY needed if you want to use the macro lens, the 50 mm prime focusAttaching the FR-1 couldn't be easier - you press in 2 tabs which allow it to snap over the lens front. Releasing them holds it firmly in place.The FR-1 also protects the barrel of the 50 mm lens as you focus on very close objects. The barell can not exit the FR-1 body so you are never in danger of damaging your lens on closeups.Finally, the FR-1 has a set of threads (67 mm) to mount the TF-22 series of flashes. The RF uses the bayonet mount, while the TF-22 uses the filter thread mount. Note that the SR-1 has 2 thread cuttings, a 67 and a 72 mm thread. This allows you use the twin flash with the 11-22 mm lens for macro work. The FR-1 is needed for the 50mm prime lens with the TF-22 but not with the 11-22 mm lens because the SR-1 screws right onto that lens.A NOTE OF CAUTION - never force the RF-1 on or off the FR-1 - it is screwed together with tiny screws which will shear off if you twist the wrong direction. Not a problem for the TF-22. See the photos I uploaded for more details of how it goes together.All part of the olympus flash system parts - and a very important part if you have the 50mm prime focus macro lens."
