Minolta Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.7 Lens

The Minolta Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.7 is a classic manual focus prime lens designed for the Minolta SR/MC/MD mount system, known for its compact build, smooth focus throw, and beautifully rendered images. With its bright f/1.7 maximum aperture, this lens is ideal for low-light shooting, portraits with shallow depth of field, and creative photography on both film and digital mirrorless systems (via adapter).

The Rokkor-X series was Minolta’s U.S.-branded version of their acclaimed Rokkor lenses, featuring identical optics to their international counterparts. It delivers sharp center resolution even wide open, with a pleasing falloff to the corners that adds character to portraits and environmental scenes. The 6-blade aperture produces classic vintage bokeh, and the manual focus ring is beautifully dampened for precise control.

This particular copy is in good condition with some age-related optical blemishes. The lens has slight internal haze near the edge of the rear element and moderate internal dust, both of which are unlikely to significantly affect image quality in everyday use, especially when stopped down. A great, affordable choice for vintage glass enthusiasts or Minolta SLR users.

• No fungus or separation
