Default Minolta 50/1.7 vintage or RS?

Need to get advice from bros on whether 50mm 1.7 vintage or RS if you can choose?

I'm thinking to get hold of one 2nd-hand. Any other advice on this?

And is there lens hood for these lenses?

Many thanks,

Both looks equally good. Just get which ever is in a better condition. Yup, you should be able to find this lens on the B&S. Lens hood is build-in.

Bro galdor is right, both the same except for external cosmetic difference. Main difference between the original and RS are rubber focus ring, and ABS plastic barrel.

I will go for the original as it has metal body !
