I am the original owner of this Minolta MC Rokkor-X 58mm lens, purchased in the early 1970s for use in low-light situations. This is the fastest lens ever produced by Minolta and is much in demand among photographers for its fine craftsmanship, superb optics, sharp images and deeply saturated colors.

The lens was used with a Minolta SRT 201 single lens reflex camera and it's my understanding that it will fit all SRT, XX, and X-series Minolta cameras. Lens comes complete with front and rear lens caps, original box and styrofoam packaging.

The lens works perfectly and has no scratches, haze, fungus or imperfections in the glass. It was used only on occasion (vacations, holidays, etc. -- not professionally) and was treated with care always. There are some tiny specks of dust visible within the lens, which I'm told are common in lenses of this size and vintage, and do not affect image quality. Focus is smooth. There is light wear to the lens body. Serial # 2584570.

There is cosmetic damage to the front lens cap: I tried to remove a sticky spot from it using the wrong solvent and unfortunately the solvent discolored the plastic. Please see photos. There is also a small dent in the metal rim that surrounds the glass of the lens. You can see this dent in my first photo, under the "M" in MC Rokkor. The outer box, in which the lens was stored for many years, is quite worn around the edges.

I welcome questions from potential bidders and, though I'm not a photographer or camera expert, will do my best to answer all.
