Early Minolta Tele-Rokkor TD 60cm 600mm f/5.6 Prime Lens +wood case

s/n –  1200118

• Good cosmetic condition for its age, but not perfect, certainly a collector’s item
• Likely the 118th made
• 4 elements in 3 groups (apparently), announced in 1958, sold from 1959
• For Minolta SLR film cameras, could be adapted to digital with the correct adapter
• Tested and working, focus works via rack & pinion, extending the rear tube, down to 12m. There is a delightful scale, through a window. to read off the distance set
• The aperture works well / smoothly, down to f/45
• This is a Pre-Set lens, it does not provide an automatic diaphragm. The two rings allow you to pre-set the aperture you wish to use and then open up for focusing before stopping down to take the photo
• Obvious signs of use on the body of the lens
• Optics are in good (not perfect) condition, front of front element is clean and shows coating, interior shows small fungus spots. No scratches
• It does look as if someone has tried to get into the front cell (unsuccessfully) to clean the optics
• Some light dust which is normal
• Comes as shown with cap, hood, a hand grip(!!), another mount & a 126mm UV filter!
• Camera shown for scale, not included
• VERY heavy, over 5kg, postage will be substantial overseas, please ask for a personal quote
