Minolta 100-200mm f/5.6 Celtic MD Mount Manual Focus Lens (AS-IS)

The Minolta 100-200mm f/5.6 Celtic is a classic manual-focus telephoto zoom lens designed for Minolta 35mm film SLR cameras using the MD mount system (and easily adapted to modern mirrorless cameras). As part of Minolta’s popular “Celtic” budget-friendly optics line, it offers a versatile telephoto zoom range in a compact, durable all-metal housing. The constant f/5.6 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range simplifies manual exposure settings, making it a budget-conscious option for outdoor portraiture, sports, and distant subject isolation.
