MINOLTA LENSES

Many of Minolta's cameras accept interchangeable lenses.  But not all of these are SLR cameras, and not all of the lenses that can be used on these cameras were made or sold by Minolta.  The first lenses on Minolta cameras were not made by Minolta. Other companies, such as Asahi, Japan's largest glass manufacturer, supplied the lenses.  But Minolta eventually made most of their own lenses and made many innovations in lens design.  For example, they produced the first coated lens in Japan, in 1946. Later, Minolta pioneered the first Achromatic Coating -- two layers of magnesium fluoride deposited in different thicknesses -- in 1958.
