Minolta Rokkors have been coveted by still photographers for years. Their quality and consistency rivaled other major lens makers in Japan. At the height of the company’s growth they were manufacturing their own glass and their own lens coatings, something very few lens makers could claim. The resulting lenses were some of the most impressive to come out of the 1970s. For the first time, they are finally being rehoused for cinema use.

Their look is vintage, but they are sharp lenses that resolve plenty of detail, even wide open. They are medium to high contrast due to their exceptional coatings, but like Canon FDs and Olympus OM primes, they flare bigger and more beatufully than modern lenses. Bokeh is beautiful, with a nice texture to it, but never busy. They are an amazing balance between vintage and modern lenses.

The housings are beautiful, with matching gear positions and 110mm fronts. Close focus was improved on just about every focal length, and of course, they all cover full frame.
