Minolta MD 50 mm f/3.5 Macro

The Minolta MD 50 mm f/3.5 Macro is a manual macro lens with a Minolta MD mount designed for analog 35 mm SLR cameras such as the Minolta X-700, X-300 and XD series. This lens offers a natural perspective and precise close-up performance, with a minimum focus distance of about 0.23 m that is ideal for product, detail and light macro photography. In standard configuration the lens achieves about 1:2 magnification, and with the use of Minolta extension tubes or adapter accessories it can reach 1:1 magnification, meaning subjects can be rendered life-size on film during close-up shots. The optical calibration emphasises sharpness and contrast at close distances, making it a fine choice for detailed shots of flowers, objects and smaller subjects. Its compact metal build feels solid in the hand, and with an adapter it can also be used on modern mirrorless systems with manual focus. This example with serial number 8049279 is in good optical and mechanical condition, with clear glass and smooth focus action, ready for both creative close-up work and general photography.
