It really depends on your need. I'd assume u have the kit lens 1870. So you have to ask yourself why would i need a 50mm which i already covered with my kitlens.

But to answer your question, the minolta 50mm f1.7 is a "must have" for all sony users, i've one. It's cheap (relatively), very sharp and have nice minolta bokeh and color. Its also a fast lens. But u have to get use to it as u cannot zoom with it (more leg work). But the pics that came out with this lens is really "wah" for me the first time i used it, never regretted getting it.

But i still have to stress that 2nd lens to buy really depends on your need...
