Minolta MD Rokkor 45mm f2 lens

General

Minolta MD Rokkor 45mm f2 lens  : A near mint example of the much in demand MD Rokkor 45mm f2 lens (serial 12388732) for Minolta SR/MC/MD mount.

This was one of our own lenses which we are now disposing of as we are slimming down our own equipment.

The optics are mint and the barrel bears only light use marks. A near perfect example.

Supplied complete with original Minolta caps.

About
The 45mm f2 was usually supplied with Minoltas low budget cameras like the XG1. However, it has found favour with modern film users thanks to its sharp optics and low profile being almost a pancake lens.

Restoration

The lens was acquired in good overall condition needing only cleaning.

Please be aware that the cameras and lenses for sale can be up to 50 years old.  They have been serviced and/or checked and are always as good as they can be made, but please don’t expect them to be flawless as if they were made yesterday.

All lenses of this age exhibit some small particles of dust and coatings are not up to modern standards. Cameras will exhibit some wear signs and likewise may have small dust specks in their viewfinders or focus screens.  These do not affect the picture in any way.

ANY problems or issues will be described in the main text which you are advised to read carefully.If you are unfamiliar with film cameras we suggest you do some online research and read the manuals which are freely available from online resources.

We are enthusiastic film fans and spend our time hunting cameras and lenses that have been or are being unloved. We then spend hours to bring them back to fully working and clean condition, ready for a new lease of life with you  We always change the film seals, give the camera a clean/service and make sure its fully working before we sell it on to you.

Most lenses are cleaned, re-lubricated and all of their functions checked prior to sale so you know they will work, full details will always be in the text. All items are packed safely for transit using proper packing material NOT something the cat was sick in. Having been stung both on eBay and by dealers alike who often know very little about film cameras we decided to offer people a chance to experience film using a camera that will last for many years and which we can say for sure works reliably
