    Overview

    The Minolta MD Tele Rokkor 300mm f/4.5 IF is a sharp, lightweight (705g) lens with no visible distortion or coma, and smooth bokeh, according to minolta.su. Its optical performance is strong even wide open, with minimal aberrations. The built-in hood and compact design make it suitable for handheld use. However, the earlier MC Rokkor-HF version is heavier (1150g) and offers no compensating advantages, per the same source. This lens is recommended for photographers seeking a portable, high-quality manual telephoto for nature or distant subjects.
