Minolta MC W.Rokkor-SI 28mm f/2.5 - Minolta SR Mount

The Minolta MC W.Rokkor-SI 28mm f/2.5 is a wide-angle prime lens featuring a 7-element construction ('SI' designation). It was one of Minolta’s premium wide-angle offerings during the MC era, providing a fast f/2.5 maximum aperture. The lens is known for its solid build quality and its ability to produce sharp images with high central resolution, making it suitable for landscape and street photography. Potential buyers should be aware that many copies of this specific lens exhibit a strong yellow or amber tint due to the use of thorium glass in the elements. While this can be cleared with UV light exposure, it is a standard check for SDS. We also inspect the focus helicoid for smoothness and check the aperture blades for oil, which can cause sticking in older MC lenses.
