Minolta MD Rokkor Macro 50mm f/3.5 - Minolta SR Mount

The Minolta MD Rokkor Macro 50mm f/3.5 is a dedicated macro lens for the manual focus SR-mount system. It is capable of reaching a 1:2 reproduction ratio natively, or 1:1 when used with the specific 25mm extension tube. Known for its exceptional sharpness across the frame and flat field of focus, it is an ideal tool for document copying, product photography, and close-up nature work. For used copies, it is essential to check the long focus throw for any grit or uneven resistance, as macro work requires precise adjustments. Examine the iris for oil contamination, which is common in older MD lenses. SDS verifies that the diaphragm is snappy and that the optical path is clear of fungus or heavy dust that could degrade fine detail.
