Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 50mm f/1.7 - Minolta SR Mount

The MC Rokkor-PF 50mm f/1.7 is a highly regarded standard lens for Minolta's manual focus SLR system. It is praised for its sharpness, compact size, and excellent mechanical quality. The lens features the Meter Coupled (MC) tab, allowing for full-aperture metering on compatible cameras like the SRT series. Its f/1.7 maximum aperture provides good low-light performance and shallow depth of field. Buyers should check for oil on the aperture blades, which can cause them to stick. SDS inspects the multi-coating for cleaning marks or damage, as this can impact flare resistance. The manual focus movement should be fluid, and the aperture ring should have distinct, positive clicks at each stop.
