Minolta MD W.Rokkor 28mm f/2.8 - Minolta SR Mount

The MD W.Rokkor 28mm f/2.8 is a classic wide-angle prime, offering a 75-degree angle of view that is ideal for landscapes, architecture, and street photography. This version is notably compact and lightweight, using 49mm or 55mm filters depending on the specific production year. It is recognised for its balanced performance, delivering good centre sharpness and manageable distortion for a wide-angle lens of its era. On the used market, these lenses can sometimes develop 'lazy' aperture blades due to oil migration. Ensure the glass is free from scratches on the rear element, which can significantly impact image quality. SDS technicians inspect the filter thread for dents and confirm that the focus movement is even across the entire range. We also check for any signs of separation in the cemented lens elements.
