The details
At a glance: Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 58mm f/1.2 - classic ultra-fast manual standard prime in SR mount.
About this lens
The Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 58mm f/1.2 is a classic fast standard prime for Minolta's SR mount - a highly regarded manual-focus lens known for its very wide maximum aperture, characterful rendering wide open and its solid all-metal construction.
Build & handling
| Maximum aperture | f/1.2 |
|---|---|
| Focus | Manual focus only |
| Construction | All-metal barrel |
| Designation | Rokkor-PG (7 elements in 5 groups) |
Works with
- Minolta SR-mount film bodies (SRT, XD, XE, X-700 and similar)
- Mirrorless cameras via an SR-mount adapter (Sony E, Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds, Canon RF, Nikon Z)
- 55mm filters on most examples
Best for
A collectable fast fifty for film SLR users and for mirrorless shooters adapting vintage glass. At f/1.2 it is soft and glowing with strong character; stopped down to f/2.8-f/5.6 it sharpens up considerably. Popular for portraits and low-light film work where the look matters more than clinical correction.
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit a Minolta or Sony autofocus camera?
No. This is the manual-focus SR mount (sometimes called MC/MD), which is not the same as Minolta's later autofocus A-mount used by Sony DSLRs. It adapts very easily to mirrorless cameras, but there is no adapter that lets it work properly on an A-mount body.
Is it sharp wide open at f/1.2?
Not by modern standards - expect noticeably soft, low-contrast results with glow around highlights at f/1.2. That look is much of the appeal. By f/2.8 it is sharp across most of the frame.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
