Overview

The Minolta MC 35mm f/2.8 Celtic is a budget lens from Minolta's economy line, offering the same optical formula as the Rokkor version. It is well-built mechanically, with no common issues like scratches or fungus. However, the Celtic line uses simpler construction and inferior coatings compared to Rokkor-X lenses. It suits photographers on a budget who want a decent 35mm prime, but upgrading to the Rokkor version is recommended for better build and coatings.
