The Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 55mm f/1.7 (VG-TH-SEP26-15) has been inspected and cleaned by CPB Darkroom and is in working mechanical condition. The manual focus ring operates correctly and the aperture ring functions as intended.

The optics have been cleaned as thoroughly as possible; however, the rear optical element still has heavy staining and fungus present. These optical issues could not be completely removed during cleaning and may affect image quality, particularly through reduced contrast, increased flare, softness, or loss of clarity under certain lighting conditions. This has been clearly reflected in the lens's Fair condition grade.

Cosmetically, the lens body is in excellent condition, showing only minor signs of wear and remaining well preserved despite the optical condition. The images shown depict the exact lens you will receive.

The Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 55mm f/1.7 is a classic manual-focus standard prime from Minolta's Rokkor lens system. Its 55mm focal length provides a natural perspective suitable for portraits, street photography, everyday subjects, and general-purpose film photography. The relatively bright f/1.7 maximum aperture provides useful low-light capability and allows for shallow depth of field and subject separation.

The lens uses the Minolta SR mount and is designed for compatible Minolta manual-focus SLR cameras. Compatibility and metering behaviour may vary depending on the specific camera body or adapter being used.

Due to the heavy staining and remaining fungus on the rear element, this particular lens is best considered for photographers comfortable working with optical imperfections, experimental photography, or those looking for a usable vintage lens where pristine optical performance is not essential.

All lenses sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for optical condition, focusing operation, aperture responsiveness, mount integrity, and overall mechanical functionality. Any cosmetic, optical, or functional limitations are clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.
