Camera compatibility: Minolta SR / MC / MD manual-focus film cameras

This is a compact, beautifully built vintage prime lens with a very useful 28mm focal length, making it a great everyday wide-angle option for film photography, travel, street, landscapes, interiors, documentary work, and adapting to modern mirrorless cameras.
The lens uses the Minolta SR mount, commonly referred to as MC / MD mount, and is compatible with Minolta manual-focus film bodies such as the SRT series, XD series, XE series, XG series, and X-700. It can also be adapted easily to modern mirrorless systems including Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Micro Four Thirds, and L-mount with the correct adapter.
It has a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, giving a nice balance between low-light usability, compact size, and sharp performance. At 28mm, it gives a natural wide field of view without going too extreme, which makes it one of the most practical vintage focal lengths to own.
A great little “throw it on and go” lens. Small enough to live on a camera, wide enough to tell the story, and vintage enough to give your images a bit of old-school Minolta soul.
