Minolta MC Tele Rokkor-PE 200mm f.4.5 Lens – Used-Very Good

Details

The MC 200 mm f/4.5 is a skinny medium tele from the early seventies. The lens is the smaller cousin of the MD 200 mm f/4 and was mainly offered as a lower-priced alternative.

The 200 mm f/4.5 is solidly build, not too light at approx. 540 g and handling on a NEX-5T is okay. Typical for Minolta MC lenses, the focus is very smooth and the build quality is superb. Ironically, the lens is slightly heavier than the MD 200 mm f/4 and only a mere 2 mm shorter. Due to its design, the MC looks a bit skinnier even though the actual difference is negligible. The effective focal length of 305 mm on APS-C cameras renders this lens a compact tele with solid reach.
