Minolta MC Tele Rokkor-PF 135mm f/2.8

We don’t have a vetted photo of this one yet. Own a copy? Send us a packshot and we’ll credit you.

The 6-element, 5-group 135 in its MC-X rubber-grip barrel with built-in hood (518 g); the same optics were sold from 1966 in earlier MC barrels at 450–490 g. In 1975 Minolta replaced it with a 4-element, 4-group design, and in 1979 with a compact 5-element one at 365 g, so specs vary a lot between 135mm f/2.8 Rokkors. It is cheap and plentiful, and it matches the colour of the rest of the line.

  Minolta MC/MD sits closer than EF: glass adapters cost image quality. Use a mirrorless body instead.
