#1. Black KONICA AUTOREFLEX TC with Hexanon AR 50mm f/1.7 - Body and lens are in very good to excellent condition. No scratches on the body or glass. Covering is pulling away from the metal in some areas. No signs of mold or dust in the lens. Shutter works fine. I have not tested the meter. This lens was rated "one of the sharpest lenses ever made".
#2. *SOLD* MINOLTA SRT SC-II with Minolta MD Rokkor 45mm f/2.0 - Body has some light scratches where strap rubbed it. Otherwise very good condition. Glass is clear of any mold or dust. Shutter operates OK. I have not tested the meter.
#3 POLAROID Super Colorpack Land Camera - Appears to be in good condition. No scratches on the body or lens. Inside very clean. Requires 2 AA batteries.
Manuals are available on line for all of the cameras. Packaging and shipping costs should be about $12 per camera. I will ship within the continental US only. I accept checks, money orders (allow 5 days to clear) or, if you must, PayPal.

Just another ignorable critic.
A real buyer would make an offer.
The SC-II is a great SLR. And Rokkor glass is top notch. Highly recommend it.

The Konica/Minolta collaboration produced some outstanding lenses. I currently use three 20+ year old Minolta lenses on my 24.6 MP Sony DSLR: 24 f/2.8, 50 f1.7 and the 70-210 f/4. All have excellent colors and sharpness and, best of all, are available for under $100!
I never went digital in time to buy the Minolta DSLR. I hear it was a superb camera with internal IS. It also came in at a high price point with only 6mp. Sales were mediocre and Sony knew Minolta was in trouble. Minolta envisioned some sort of a partnership but Sony wanted a total buyout. Rokker glass was so good they built lenses for Leica. My 58mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.7 lenses I’ve adapted to my Canon DSLR. The adapter works well.
Like you noted, all this great Minolta glass, both MF and AF are available at very reasonable prices. And so are the superb Minolta SLR’s. I still shoot with all three, the SC-II, X-700 and my first SLR, the SRT-101 which I shot professionally with in the 1970’s for a Jersey shore guy with a guitar who eventually made it big time to say the least, lol.
Was the Konica-Minolta glass still Rokkor, or was Konica glass used as well?

Machia, it could be your lucky day. I have a K/M 7D. I paid a bunch for it back in the day and yes, it was loaded and more a pro than consumer camera. The 28-100 AF macro lens does not appear to be a Rokker. I also have a Tokina 400mm AF lens that works great on it and Sony camera.
If you are interested we can talk. I live in Jersey as well.

You’re considering selling it?

The Konica I have, the Autoreflex TC, used both the Hexanon and Hexar lenses. The Hexar line being the lower cost .
Sure. It just sits on my shelf. If somebody really wants it or could use it, why not? message me.
