Minolta SR mount lenses

Minolta introduced the SR mount in 1958, with the Minolta SR-2 SLR camera. Even though functional features were added (MC coupling, for example), the bayonet mount itself remained unchanged until the end of Minolta manual focus camera lineup.

Fisheye lenses

• 7.5mm 1:4: introduced in 1975, this lens exists in both MC and MD versions.
• 16mm 1:2.8: introduced in 1969, this lens exists in both MC and MD versions.
• 18mm 1:9.5: this short-lived lens was introduced in 1966 and does not offer MC coupling.

Wide angle lenses

• 17mm 1:4: introduced in 1975, this lens exists in both MC and MD versions.
• 20mm 1:2.8: introduced in 1977, this lens only exists in MD versions.

Speciality lenses

Bellows lenses

• 50mm 1:3.5: introduced in 1979, this lens should not be confused with the 50mm 1:3.5 Macro lens. This is a bellows lens, and does therefore not have a focusing system.
• 100mm 1:4: introduced in 1969, this lens should not be confused with the 100mm 1:4 Macro lens. This is a bellows lens, and does therefore not have a focusing system.

Macro lenses

• 50mm 1:3.5: introduced in 1969, it exists in the MC and MD versions.
• 100mm 1:3.5: introduced in 1971, it exists in the MC and MD versions.
• 100mm 1:4: introduced in 1979, it only exists in the MD version.

Micro lenses

• 12.5mm 1:2: introduced in 1980, this lens has to used via a microscope adapter
