    55mm · f/1.8

    Overview

    The Minolta Auto Rokkor-PF 55mm f/1.8 is a historic lens, being the first kit lens for the Minolta SR mount (1958). Optically, it offers decent sharpness but is not exceptional by modern standards. Build quality is solid, with metal construction and smooth focusing, though early versions have uneven aperture markings. It is best suited for collectors due to its historical significance, especially the rare black variants, but remains usable for photographers seeking a vintage look on a budget.
