Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 58mm f/1.4 - Minolta SR Mount

The Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 58mm f/1.4 is a classic standard prime lens known for its slightly longer focal length compared to standard 50mm optics. This design provides a distinctive rendering and bokeh characteristic that is highly sought after by vintage lens enthusiasts. The lens features an all-metal barrel and a scalloped focus ring, typical of the MC-era build quality, and uses a 6-element construction. When purchasing this model, check for 'yellowing' of the glass elements, a common occurrence in older Minolta optics that can usually be corrected but affects colour balance. The aperture should snap sharply without hesitation. SDS checks the internal optics for haze, which often develops on the middle elements, and ensures the mechanical focus throw is consistent across the range.
