Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 50mm f/1.4 - Good Condition | The Low-Light Master of the SR System

The Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 50mm f/1.4 is a legendary fast prime lens, widely regarded as one of the finest optics produced during the golden age of Minolta. Featuring a sophisticated 7-element in 5-group design, this lens is celebrated for its incredible sharpness even when shooting wide open at f/1.4. The "PG" designation indicates its high-tier multi-coated optics, which deliver the rich, natural colors and smooth "bokeh" that have made the Rokkor series a favorite among film enthusiasts and digital adapters alike. It is a robust, all-metal masterpiece that excels in low-light photography and portraiture.

Specialist Note "The 50mm f/1.4 MC Rokkor-PG is a true 'halo' lens for the Minolta system. While many 50mm lenses from this era can be a bit soft wide open, the PG version holds its resolution remarkably well. It has a tactile, heavy feel that inspires confidence, and the way it transitions from sharp focal points to creamy backgrounds is pure magic. Whether you are using it on an SRT-101 or adapting it to a modern mirrorless system, it remains one of the most rewarding vintage primes you can own."

Condition Report Good condition. The lens barrel shows normal signs of light use and minor surface wear consistent with its age. The optics are clear, with no signs of fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The aperture blades are clean and snappy, and the focus ring moves with the characteristic smooth Minolta resistance.
