Chiyoda Kogaku Minolta Super Rokkor 45mm F2.8 This is a Leica L39 screw mount lens. It can be easily converted to various mounts for mirrorless cameras. 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 piece of metal. This style, which was called the "plum blossom crest," might suit modern mirrorless cameras well. It's also suitable for snapshots, making it a stylish old lens perfect for city walks. I have prepared some sample photos taken with this lens. The high contrast and vignetting are noticeable. Outdoors, unless you're shooting into harsh backlight, it won't struggle with light sources, and it performs well when you focus on shadows and light. The depiction of the sky, especially the clouds, is excellent and has a unique character. It struggles with many point light sources indoors, so proper flare control is needed. Even though it's only a 5mm wide-angle, it gives you the feeling of wanting to capture places you don't usually photograph, a sensation you wouldn't get with a zoom lens. The condition is a very clean lens. No noticeable scratches, and the blue "C" mark is beautifully colored. There is no mold or haze, and the optics appear clear, but upon close inspection, there are slight cleaning marks on the front element, and dirt on the back of the ring holding the lens, which is not visible from the front. This itself probably doesn't affect the image quality. It's a good condition lens. Condition: Excellent appearance! A very clean-looking lens. Appearance: Beautiful with no noticeable scratches. Optics: No mold or haze, slight cleaning marks on the front element, dirt on the back of the lens retaining ring. Operation: Tested and confirmed with α7. Accessories: Front and rear caps. Stored in a dehumidified cabinet. 5310 * We are also listing great deals at the same time. * Evaluations are subjective.
