Rokkor

Rokkor was Minolta's brand name for camera lenses. These lenses fitted only on Minolta manual focus 35mm-SLR-camera bodies or compatible products like those of Seagull, or where part of viewfinder cameras and other cameras.

In 1940 the brand name appeared for the first tim on the lens for a handcamera for aerial photography. The name is a variation of the name of Mount Rokko, a mountain near Osaka which could be seen from Minolta's optical factory. Sometimes people call Minolta lenses just Rokkors.
