Manufacturer description

Each of the MC Zoom Rokkor-X lenses allows the photographer to select the exact focal length he wants from an infinite number within a particularly useful range. The 80-200mm model thus provides in only one lens the collective telescopic advantages of short and medium fixed telephotos and more. The extraordinary 100-500mm is light and compact despite its great focal-length range, which is especially effective in sports and nature photography. Each of these lenses is a light, compact new design equipped for full-aperture metering/focusing and automatic diaphragm operation. And each can be zoomed and focused with one hand on the positive, comfortable grip of waffle-textured rubber - another instance of the easy handling Minolta is famous for.

From the editor

Optically, this lens became the basis for the Leitz Wetzlar Vario-Elmar-R 80-200/4.5.
