You need to be in manual focus in order enable focus peaking in the menu. I have Focus Peaking enabled on my Nex-6 and I’m using yellow these days as my primary color choice. The notched aperture is not good for video, but as long as you leave the aperture alone it’s fine in my opinion. The aperture ring is all metal, with no rubber grip, and is notched for easy on the fly adjustments, but counting is required. It’s very effective and slippage is never and issue. The focus is smooth and dampened with a sharply textured rubberized grip for adjustment. It’s very old, but all metal and feels extremely solid in the hands. The build quality of the Minolta MC Rokkor-X PG 50 F.1.4 Lens is awesome in my opinion.

Look around, you will be surprised whose family used to be in photography long ago, and just assume the equipment is useless.

In other words, for an investment less than a kit lens, you can have your hands on pro grade speed and depth of field control! This is killer and I highly recommend taking advantage of all these older lenses on Ebay, garage sales, or in your families attics for that matter. You can pick up the Minolta MC Rokkor-X PG 50 F/1.4 Lens for ~$50 – $90 US on Ebay (Click Here) The RainbomImaging Lens adapter I’m using only cost ~ $17.50 US, and you can get it Amazon (Click Here) The more expensive lens adapters made by Novoflex and Metabones for example, offer accurate infinity focus and the finest machining quality to match highest quality optics like Zeiss, Leica and others. Infinity is not perfect with this adapter however, which is worth noting for those wondering and wanting that very useful feature. I also used my very affordable RainbowImaging lens adapter to make the hook up on my Nex-6 and it did the job very well. I’ve had the Minolta MC Rokkor-X PG 50 F/1.4 Lens for a few months now and in this article I’m going to show you what it can do on my Nex-6.
