Default New found love... Rare and collectable!

I just recieved my new Minolta 50mm prime lens yesterday. LOVE IT!! What is so special about it, is that it's a Minolta Maxxum with crossed X's. It's rare because Exxon used the crossed X's in it's logo, and won the battle against Minolta to stop using it. So there are only few that were made. Besides that, I love this thing. I didn't take a lot of photos with it since my battery was low, but the ones I did take blew me away. I see so much potential with this lens. Here are a few that I took this morning.

Thank you and Enjoy!!

Thank you! I was really impressed with the vividness of the photos. I wish it wasn't raining outside so I could get it in some natural light *sigh*. Maybe another day.
