Description from the seller


Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm F1.7 — A Classic Standard Lens from Late 1970s Japan

At Snow Optics Japan, we carefully inspect and clean every lens before it reaches you. Based in Hokkaido, Japan, we are passionate about vintage optics and committed to delivering honest, detailed descriptions so you can buy with confidence.


About This Lens

The Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm F1.7 is one of the most beloved standard lenses ever made in Japan. This early MD-series version was produced around 1977–1979, during Minolta's golden era of optical engineering. The "Rokkor" name carries decades of prestige — these lenses were renowned for their warm rendering, smooth bokeh, and exceptional sharpness wide open. Nearly 50 years later, this glass continues to attract photographers and collectors worldwide, particularly those shooting with Sony mirrorless cameras via MD-to-E mount adapters.
