    Overview

    The Minolta MD Macro Rokkor-X 100mm f/3.5 is a solidly built all-metal macro lens. Optically, it offers excellent bokeh and minimal lateral chromatic aberrations, but is very sensitive to flare, requiring a hood. Sharpness is good in the center at wider apertures, with best overall sharpness at f/8, though corner performance at close distances is weak. The long focus throw aids precise focusing, but the lens is heavy and large. It suits macro enthusiasts who prioritize bokeh and build quality over ultimate corner sharpness.
