is an excellent, inexpensive and compact lens. Go get one.

it's also the cheapest lens you can buy.

most slow normal lenses, it's performance is the best you can get, and

with a complex spring-loaded tab arrangement.

is a lip on the front of the lens to which a dedicated lens hood attaches

aperture ring is plastic. The rest is all metal.

you may select any aperture you please.

f/2.8 through f/16. This is weird, but typical for Minolta. Of course

click stops are at f/1.7, f/2.8, f/16 and f/22. Half stop clicks are from

almost nothing: 5.8 oz. (165g).

1.4" (36mm) from the camera lens flange and is 2.5" (64mm) around.

6 multicoated elements in 5 groups.

very, very good, and you can get them almost for free today.

is a swell little manual focus lens from the 1990s.
