Eight Minolta Chiyoko Leica mount lenses from the 1940s and 1950s. The little 3.5cm F3.5 is very rare, all of the lenses are uncommon- especially outside of Japan. Thet are all good. This closes off the collection. The rear lens cap of the 3.5cm lens is unique- I've never seen another translucent rear cap for Leica. This Minolta 3.5cm F3.5 lens is from ~1957, is double-coated. I thought Pentax was the first to multicoat lenses in the 1960s. This lens is multicoated. Minolta called it "Achromatic Coating".
Shiny! Beautiful set.
