AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Minolta Vectis S-1 (1996)
This camera is Minolta’s first single-lens reflex camera for the APS film system. For these autofocus SLRs, Minolta developed a completely new set of autofocus lenses: the V-lenses. This camera features the F 4 – 5.6 / 28 – 56 zoom lens.
The camera has the following functions: manual modes for aperture, shutter speed, flash, and focusing; fully automatic operation mode; different programmed modes for portrait, landscape, sports, macro, or night; choice of automatic focusing modes; and last but not least, an information display (LCD).
Other features include the built-in retractable flash, all-electric control of the lenses, and a data wheel for manual settings of film speed, shutter speed, or aperture. Additionally, it offers all the extra functions available for APS film.
The viewfinder image is not projected through a prism but through a mirror construction. Therefore, the viewfinder is positioned on the left side of the camera's back. Exposure information (flash, focusing finished, shutter speed, aperture) is displayed in the viewfinder below the image.
Under a removable plastic cap on top of the camera body is a connector for a Minolta AF flash. The powerful flash SF-1, included in this set, was introduced as an accessory for the camera. It has an infrared lamp that serves as an autofocus support light instead of the built-in flash.
In this set, you will find three APS film cassettes. Two of these are by FUJI and are still in the original, unopened box, although the expiration date is November 2010. Therefore, there is no guarantee that they can still be used. The third cassette is also an unexposed film, so you can experiment with this one.
A manual (in Dutch) is also included in this set.
The camera is powered by 2 CR2 batteries. The SF-1 Flash is also powered by 2 CR2 batteries. (These batteries are not included).
The most interesting part of this set is probably the rare VECTIS-Camerbag. This is the original Minolta Vectis bag in blue canvas with brown accents and shoulder strap. This bag is in absolutely perfect condition and has enough room for all the equipment.
