Item Description: Up for sale is a classic vintage telephoto prime lens: the Minolta MC Tele Celtic 135mm f/2.8 (SR/MD mount).

Known for producing warm, contrasty images with smooth bokeh, this fast 135mm prime is ideal for portraits, sports, and low-light film photography. It features a solid metal construction, smooth manual focus rubber grip, and a convenient built-in retractable metal lens hood. The Celtic line shares identical optical designs with Minolta's famous Rokkor lenses, offering outstanding optical performance at a great value. Fits naturally on classic Minolta film bodies (SR-T, X-700, XE, XD, etc.) or can be easily adapted to modern mirrorless digital cameras.
