Chiyoda Kogaku Minolta Super Rokkor 45mm F2.8 This is a Leica L39 screw mount lens. It can be easily converted to various mirrorless mounts for use. Please feel free to consult with us about mount conversions. Released in 1948, it was the standard lens for Minolta (Chiyoda Kogaku) at the time. The design is outstanding, and although it's a small lens, the focusing ring is chunky, giving a strong feeling of holding a solid piece of metal. This style, which was called the "plum blossom crest" (referring to the design on the cover), would likely suit modern mirrorless cameras well. Its specifications also make it suitable for snapshots, making it a stylish old lens perfect for city walks. Sample images taken with this lens are provided. The 45mm wide angle makes it a true snapshot lens. It doesn't produce very flashy ghosting, but you can see characteristic oval ghosting from light sources. Its characteristics include significant vignetting in the periphery, and while it doesn't have strong swirly bokeh, it exhibits unique rendering at its widest aperture. The color rendering is subdued, and if you were to photograph a ruin on a cloudy day, it might even feel suspenseful, haha. With sufficient light, the contrast is high, but light sources will bleed, resulting in a less crisp and more flavorful image. Regarding condition, there is no mold or haze. Although not visible unless strong light is shone at an angle, there is some coating unevenness on the middle element, which doesn't affect the image quality significantly, but is a point to note. There are a few dust particles and cleaning marks that couldn't be completely removed, but it's still clean. The exterior is very beautiful, and you can enjoy its rugged design. The operation is also smooth. If you're looking for an affordable L39 compatible old lens and lament the lack of unique lenses, or if you're looking for a small snapshot lens with the characteristic look of an old lens, this is the one for you.
