Minolta Maxxum 7 lens recommendation

I was looking for a Maxxum 7 50mm lens and would like opinions on the
best choices out there. I assume there F1.7 is fair because it is so
cheap at $30-45 on Ebay The F1.4 is around $100-150 on Ebay
Are any of the aftermarket lenses worth recommending ? Vivitar,
Tamaron etc.
F1.4 is my priority choice for low light shooting.
appreciate any replies

I posted a similar requirement for Maxxum 5 and concluded that the
following are good budget buys:
- 50mm f/1.7
- 28-85/105mm
- 70-210mm f4

Take a look at www.keh.com. They have these in excellent condition at
great prices.

I got both. Both are good.
Get the f1.7 version first. It is good enough.

Ditto. Seconded.

Thank you all for the replies
I got the F1.7 and will see how that performs
