Home»Collections»Minolta Lenses

These galleries contain images made with Minolta manual focus lenses from the 1960s and 1970s adapted to Canon EOS R series digital camera bodies.

I started using these lenses in May, 2023. First, with a Canon EOS R and then with an EOS R6 which has in body image stabilization.

Regular use ended after about a month and they will be relegated to those occasions when I want to have fun with something different.

Each lens has a dedicated gallery with images arranged in chronological order.

The two letter codes after ROKKOR on the earlier lenses indicates the number of lens groups and elements in the lens design. The first letter refers to the number of groups in the lens: T=3; Q=4; P=5; H=6; S=7; O=8; N=9. The second letter refers to the number of elements in the lens: C=3; D=4; E=5; F=6; G=7; H=8; I=9; J=10; K=11; L=12.

The X after ROKKOR on MD lenses signifies that the lens was made for the North American market.
