Near MINT Minolta MC Rokkor 35mm f/1.8 Manual Focus Wide Angle Prime Lens JAPAN

The Minolta MC 35mm f/1.8 is a wide angle prime lens for Minolta SR-mount single lens reflex cameras, offering a maximum aperture of f/1.8, which was notably fast for a 35mm lens during the early MC Rokkor lineup era and set it apart from the more common f/2.8 wide angle offerings of the period. The lens uses a Minolta Rokkor optical formula built specifically for this fast wide angle aperture, incorporating an asymmetrical retrofocus-type layout typical of fast wide angle SLR lenses of its generation to maintain corner sharpness and control distortion at f/1.8. As part of Minolta's MC (Meter Coupled) Rokkor series, this lens automatically couples with the meter-coupling prong on compatible Minolta SR-mount bodies such as the SRT series, enabling full-aperture metering without stopping dow.
