Minolta Auto Rokkor-PF 55mm f/2 - Minolta SR Mount

This standard prime lens features a six-element in five-group optical design and was a common companion for early SR-mount SLRs. The 'PF' designation indicates the specific lens construction used during this era. It provides a natural perspective slightly longer than a standard 50mm, offering a gentle roll-off in out-of-focus areas and reliable sharpness when stopped down. The all-metal construction ensures a high degree of durability for vintage enthusiasts. When inspecting a used Auto Rokkor-PF 55mm f/2, check for internal dust and haze, which can be common in lenses of this age. The aperture blades should be free from oil and snap shut instantly when the stop-down lever is engaged. SDS technicians verify the smoothness of the scalloped focus ring, ensuring there are no gritty patches or excessive play in the barrel.
