Centon F1.8 50mm Minolta MD Mount Lens

A month ago, bought an inexpensive lens from ebay for a few dollars including the Centon DF-300 body.  I use the lens on a digital camera with an adapter.  The IQ (image quality) is quite good.  It is fun to put a vintage lens on a digital camera to take picture. So far I had bought a few vintage lens including a Sigma 28-70 mm, Vivitar 28mm and Miranda 35-70mm macro lens for less than $30 each from ebay.  I am quite happy with all these lens in terms of IQ and construction.
