A light plastic lens such as the 45mm f/2 Rokkor-X might seem out of place on a large and heavy body, but it's common to find them on used Minolta SRTs-- whether they were sold that way by a dealer or by the seller of the used camera, I don't know. The lens itself has a good reputation among Minolta users. Though I own one of them, I've only recently started to use it regularly. Its small size doesn't seem much of an issue except for making it a little easier to move the aperture ring unintentionally while focusing, particularly in cold weather when fingers aren't as sensitive. That's a minor problem to deal with if you like the results - which I do. Anyway, I posted some b&w photos from this combination here in May; now I have some which show what it can do with color. The film was Kodak Gold 200 commercially developed and scanned. The 2nd and 3rd photos have been cropped.
