Description from the seller

Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 50mm f/1.7

Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.

The Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 50mm f/1.7 is a classic standard lens produced from 1973 for Minolta SR/MC/MD mount cameras. The "PF" designation indicates 6 elements in 5 groups. With its fast f/1.7 aperture, compact size, and Rokkor optics, it delivers sharp images with beautiful bokeh at an affordable price point. A popular choice among vintage lens enthusiasts.

Compatible with all Minolta SR/MC/MD mount film SLRs, and can be adapted to modern mirrorless cameras (Sony E, Fuji X, Canon RF, Nikon Z, etc.) via inexpensive adapters.
