Minolta MD 75-200mm f/4.5 - Minolta SR Mount

This MD-series zoom lens offers a useful telephoto range with a constant f/4.5 maximum aperture. It features a one-touch design, where a single ring controls both focus and focal length. The lens is built to a high standard with a metal barrel and provides consistent exposure across the zoom range, making it a reliable choice for manual focus film enthusiasts using Minolta X-series or XD-series cameras. Check the tension of the one-touch zoom/focus ring; if it is too loose, the lens will suffer from significant zoom creep. SDS verifies that the optical alignment remains true and that the internal zooming mechanism is smooth. As with many MD lenses, the rear mount should be checked for any signs of warping or damage to the aperture lever.
