Beautiful rehousing with improved close focus and 330 degree focus throw.

“Rokkor” refers to Mt. Rokko which could be seen from the Minolta factory in Japan. In the late 60’s and all through the 70’s, Minolta made some of the best glass in the world under the Rokkor label. Unlike most other manufacturers, Minolta had the capability of producing its own glass elements and coatings. Their reputation for innovation and quality was already firmly in place.

The well known 21mm f2.8, 58mm f1.2 and 85 f1.7 are still coveted by photographers around the world. The 100mm f2 is an earlier design, but easily one of the best Rokkors ever. However, one of Minolta’s latest designs is the most special of them all...the 135mm f2. It’s ultra rare and incredibly good...a true masterpiece.
