Here's a - probably quite rare - image of the two
* Minolta SR-2 with the corresponding Minolta Auto Rokkor 2/100mm
* Minolta SR-T with the corresponding Minolta MC 2/100mm
Both lenses are like new, and the SR-2 looks nearly pristine as well. The Auto Rokkor 2/100mm was found in Basel, Switzerland; it belongs to my collector friend Guido Ehlers. The MC 2/100mm was bought from a typical "Brockenhaus" selling used stuff. It came with box, guaratee card and everything a collector can dream of. Interestingly, this lens originally was bought in 1972 near Zurich and a few month later replaced / exchanged with aother new MC 2/100mm, on guarantee.

I bought the Minolta SR-2 in Chur; she had belonged to a professional photographer who had died recently. Not that many SR-2 (about 20'000) were made; it was the very first Minolta SLR.
The SR-2 was accompanied by an early Minolta Auto Rokkor 1.8/55mm, a Steinheil München Tele-Quinar 4.5/200mm and a Steinheil München Curtagon 4.5/35mm. Our Swiss photographer had bought the SR-2 in New York, since Minolta cameras were not available in Switzerland in the early 1960s.

After reading a post on how good these are I sought one out. Amazing! My copy is the Auto Tele Rokkor PF in all black livery. It was sold as having "mold" damage to front element. The coating damage was apparent but I figured for a 100 dollars I'd risk it.

Definitely worth it, and the images speak for themselves! One of the best lenses from Minolta imo. with balanced characteristics.

That's news to me as well. I thought it was only produced between 1966 and 1968 so to see official inventory being around in 1972 is interesting. Mine is the MC-I but actually the coating colour is the same as the AR lens on that SR-2, despite my serial apparently being later than your MC as well. |

Excellent but not very good in high lights.
Except the elmarit 100, the best 100 I have used.
Congratulations |

7, slightly curved. Most Minolta lenses have 6 but here and there, a different number. For example, the AR-II 135mm F2.8 I owned before has 8 blades. |

I would expect from such high level lens like 100/2 something like this. 7 is enough though. _________________ Shoot on analog mainly with

Absolutely. The 58/1.4 only has 6 but achieves less distracting blur than similar lenses with more, when stopped down. It's all about choosing a decent background, too. |
