Minolta MD 28mm f/3.5 - Minolta SR Mount

The Minolta MD 28mm f/3.5 is a compact wide-angle lens known for its sharpness and low distortion. This later MD version features a 49mm filter thread and a simplified optical design compared to earlier versions, making it exceptionally lightweight. It is an ideal choice for landscape and street photography where a wide field of view and deep depth of field are beneficial. Used units should be checked for the presence of oil on the aperture blades, which can cause slow shutter synchronization. SDS examines the optical path for haze, particularly on the rear elements. The focus ring should rotate smoothly from infinity to the 0.3-metre minimum distance without any tight spots or play in the barrel.
