Emerald Queen Maple Blooms - a photo on Flickriver

            So this is a new lens to me. I've tried to stay away from yet another line of vintage lenses to adapt to my Canon R7, but I found this lens for a really great price and I had heard that these are actually a really good lens to start with. 
The colors of this lens are very punchy and the contrast is strong. But this is not as sharp of a lens as I was led to believe. I'm a little disapointed actually. Compared to my Konica lenses, this is fairly soft and it doesn't render all the details that some of my other vintage lenses do. Sveral of my Konica lenses are way sharper than this lens. Maybe my copy has an issue, but I don't see any reason to open this lens. Its absolutely spotless inside and everything works perfectly. 
Maybe I'm being too hard on this lens, it does create some beautiful images. I just need to add a bit more sharpening and post work than what I'm used to with other lenses.
Anyhow, these are some of the first images taken with this lens. Maybe I need to shoot it a lot more to fully understand it.

Shot using a Minolta MC Rokkor-X PG 50/f1.4 @f1.4
