| Seller's Comment |
■ Cosmetics (Top Mint)
The lens exterior barrel is in gorgeous, pristine condition. It shows virtually no signs of pre-owned cosmetic marks, paint wear, or surface scuffs on the body. The original black finish retains its beautiful matte factory texture, the knurled rubber focus grip is entirely sharp and pitch-black with no oxidation, the mount tracks are immaculate, and all engraved metrics remain perfectly vibrant and easy to read. The included vintage Minolta box and printed manual are also well-preserved with intact presentation.
■ Optics (Top Mint Condition / Exceptionally Clean!)
The internal optical glass elements are remarkably clear, bright, and highly transparent overall.
Fungus / Haze / Scratches: Completely free of fungus, haze, severe cloudiness, separation, or any physical surface scratches on the coatings. The view through the glass is crystal clear and beautiful.
Internal Dust: Only a tiny, standard minimal amount of microscopic dust particles, which is completely normal and inevitable for any classic vintage manual lens over time. It is entirely invisible under standard shooting conditions and has absolutely zero impact on image resolution, rendering contrast, or color performance.
■ Mechanics & Functions
Perfect. Every single component functions precisely as engineered. The manual focus ring rotates beautifully, evenly, and precisely across the entire distance scale with ideal weighted tactile resistance. The aperture ring adjustments are crisp and precise at every stop, the MD minimum aperture lock operates correctly, and the aperture blades are entirely clean, snappy, and free of any oil residue.

CRITICAL NOTE FOR SHOWROOM PERFECT SEEKERS:
This is a genuine pre-owned vintage manual focus lens that is decades old. While its cosmetic and mechanical condition is exceptionally beautiful, it naturally features minor characteristics inherent to stored high-end gear (such as the standard minor micro-dust mentioned above). If you require absolute flawless factory-fresh showroom perfection on every single optical element, or if you are extremely particular, sensitive, or nervous about classic vintage equipment, we kindly but firmly ask that you refrain from purchasing. This rare item is best appreciated by active photographers and serious collectors who value smooth mechanical operation, heavy-duty build utility, bright f/1.4 speed, rich multi-coating contrast, and the ultimate collectible provenance of the original Minolta box and manual over showroom specifications.
I have personally inspected and verified this genuine Minolta manual focus standard lens package to ensure its quality meets the strict standards of HJ Camera. It will be packed with elite professional care and shipped promptly from Japan! |
