If you want to work with Bokeh then something like a 50mm f/1.4 or 85mm f/1.4 will do that for you. As you can see, Sony and Minolta lenses are rather expensive, one reason so many photographers buy Nikon and Canon cameras .. the list of available new and used lenses at reasonable costs is amazing. See if you can find some good used Minolta lenses in those focal lengths. Try craigslist in a city near you' You can look for a Minolta lens
