Here is a video of focusing on a red rope with a knot 3 feet away in front of an avocado tree with wind, all taken on a tripod. I made it into a video with a video clip plus stills of the knot focus and the background focus from the same spot for each lens. The video covers my lens collection: LUMIX 20, 14-45, 45-200, and a bunch that cost under $40 each: CCTV 25mm f1.4, Minolta primes 28mm f2.8, 35mm f2.8, 50mm f1.7, 50mm f1.4 and 58mm f1.4.

All the primes were very cheap, and the surprise of the bunch is the Minolta 50mm f1.7. Comments welcome... Al
 
Thanks for sharing Al.
With the Minolta lens you have, what do you like most?
Can you please do low light testing? Thanks again!

My favorite for portraits is the 58mm for single head shots for its intriguing colors, seemingly softening of wrinkles, and awesome bokeh control. I also opened it to clean the aperture blades because they had oil. This gives it a special place for me. I was the most suprised with the bokeh of the 50mm f1.7 which is a very cheap, very sharp, and a light small lens (size of the 14-45 with the adapter). I have not made enough low light tests and your question is making me think about a good low light test for my lens collection... Al
