200mm · f/3.5
The Minolta MC Tele Rokkor-QF 200mm f/3.5 is a solid, heavy lens with good image quality, offering nice sharpness and medium contrast typical of MC Rokkors. Its main weaknesses are significant chromatic aberrations and a need for a hood to maintain contrast. Build is robust but heavy, and it is slower (f/3.5) than later f/2.8 versions. It suits enthusiasts who enjoy a hefty all-metal lens for portraits, though lighter alternatives exist.
