About the product.
A Minolta MD W.Rokkor 35mm f/2.8 — the first-generation MD version of Minolta's compact wide-angle, introduced in 1977 and still carrying the Rokkor name that Minolta reserved for its own optics. 35mm is the focal length that does the most work: wide enough for interiors, streets and landscapes, natural enough that it never looks distorted. This is a retrofocus five-element design, small, light and well built, and the MD-generation 35/2.8 has a reputation for being sharp from wide open.
