Description
Description
The Minolta MD Tele Rokkor 135mm f/2.8 is a classic, fast telephoto prime lens engineered for Minolta 35mm manual-focus SLR cameras (such as the XD series, X-700, and SR-T line). Renowned for its classic portrait focal length, sharp central resolution, and pleasant background bokeh, it features an integrated retractable metal lens hood for convenient flare prevention in high-contrast lighting. Constructed with an all-metal barrel, diamond-pattern rubber focus ring, 55mm front filter thread, and native Minolta SR / MD bayonet mount. Ideal for vintage analog film photography or adapted for modern mirrorless digital systems (Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Micro Four Thirds) via simple manual adapters. Serial number 1038479. Complete with front clip-on lens cap and rear bayonet cap.
Condition
Overall Condition: Excellent
Cosmetically in excellent condition with minor handling wear on the exterior barrel and retractable lens hood. Elements are clear and bright with rich purple multi-coatings. Rubber focus grip turns smoothly and uniformly across the distance scale. Aperture ring clicks crisply into all detents down to f/22, minimum aperture lock functions, and diaphragm blades are dry, oil-free, and snappy. Built-in metal lens hood extends and retracts smoothly.
Stripped and cleaned October 2026

Collector's Notes
The 135mm f/2.8 MD Tele Rokkor with a 55mm filter thread is widely considered one of Minolta's best compact 135mm designs. While this example requires optical cleaning to remove the rear element fungus, its excellent mechanical condition, smooth focus helicoid, and intact built-in hood make it an ideal candidate for straightforward restoration or DIY servicing.
