MINOLTA - AF-E Quartz Date Auto Focus Special Edition - 35mm Film Point and Shoot Camera Kit - Film Tested & Fully Functional - with Strap, Case, Battery & Film

Introduced in 1984, the Minolta AF-E is an Auto Focus Point and Shoot Camera. The camera is fully automatic, so the photographer just needs to load the film and snap away! Available as either the base model "AF-E" base model or "AF-E Quartz" with dateback. This model is the AF-E Quartz "Special Edition" with the dateback and rare Silver/Black color scheme.

The Minolta's Auto Focus 35mm lens 1:3.5 lens is perfect for a street photography field of view. It renders images in a way that many will find pleasing. It produces decadent vignetting and contrast while rendering images with a nice, soft tone. Images captured look warmer and gentler, a popular look among street photographers. The lens is comprised of 4 elements in 4 groups. Images are composed using a basic bright frame viewfinder. The photographer will aim the camera and compose the shot. If theres a "Green" Light, the shot is bright enough for exposure. A "Red" light alerts you of under exposure and the flash activates automatically. This ensures correct exposure, and focusing every time.

These Minolta Models featured automatic film load and rewind and were powered by a common 2x AA batteries (included). The fully functional Quartz dateback can be set to "On" or "Off" with multiple imprint variations and the "Year" can be set from '80 to '19 (see image #10).

This camera is in perfect original condition showing very little signs of wear. Camera works perfectly and the shutter fires at all speeds. Light meter is accurate and adjusts the lens aperture and shutter speed depending on the lighting situation. The automatic flash functions fires in low lighting situations. The lens is free from haze, fungus, dust and no light leaks. Film is still available and can be processed at your local camera shop. This Camera has been film tested (see attached pics of our adventures from July 2021).

All our cameras at Atelier include a Free roll of 35mm film and the battery... So all you have to do, is unpack the camera, load the film, and you're ready to shoot your first roll!
