There were differences between old and new lenses from Minolta, whose manufacturer is the same.


MC Lens



NEW MD Lens

The difference between the MC lens and the NEW MD lens is
The distance indicator (distance reference) is the ft section above the upper section.


MC lense will be green

NEW MD lense are orange.



It is a common part of both lenses

The number (middle section) representing the focal distance is represented in orange (indication of 50)
The m part below the upper row, which represents the distance indicator (distance indication), is white.
The aperture value in the lower row is white



This time, we were able to discover differences in the color of the numbers between the old and new, even though the manufacturer was the same.

How about a little discovery that piqued your interest in vintage lenses!
