Minolta AF101R Date 35mm Point-and-shoot Camera W/ Case (serial 40501709)(Minolta Af101r Date 35mm Point And Shoot Camera Serial 15518788 Copy)

The Minolta AF101R is a elegantly designed, compact autofocus 35mm point-and-shoot camera from circa 1994. It features a good performing fixed wide-angle 28mm lens. 

This camera requires two AA batteries (not included). The optional date imprinting option (which is mostly a novelty because it only goes up to 2019) requires a CR2025 lithium summary cell (not included). 

Condition notes

We tested this camera with batteries and film installed and all features are working correctly (we did not develop the film however). In addition, we verified the camera’s true film plane focus with an autocollimator. All functions are working correctly. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos). The original case is in good condition except its velcro clasp doesn’t close very tightly.
