Minolta A5 met Rokkor-TD 2,8/45mm | Analogue camera

Item Description The Minolta A5 is a classic 35mm coupled rangefinder camera released in 1960, representing the pinnacle of Minolta's celebrated A-series of compact film cameras. Equipped with the legendary Rokkor-TD 45mm F2.8 lens — a sophisticated 4-element Tessar-type optical design — this camera delivers the iconic sharpness and rendering quality that made Minolta's Rokkor glass world-famous. The all-mechanical body features a Citizen leaf shutter with speeds from 1 second to 1/500 sec (B included), requiring no battery to operate, making it perfectly reliable decades after its production. The A5 was the last of Minolta's non-metered A-series rangefinders, celebrated for its clean, compact form factor, easy-to-use coupled rangefinder focusing system, and outstanding build quality. Its lack of electronics means that most surviving examples remain in full working order — including this one, which has been confirmed fully operational. A beloved piece of Showa-era Japanese photographic heritage, the Minolta A5 is highly sought after by both film photography enthusiasts and vintage camera collectors worldwide. Size Height: 8.5 cm Width: 14 cm Depth: 7.5 cm Weight 719 g Condition The camera is in excellent used condition with no conspicuous scratches or dirt, and has been confirmed to be in full working order. NOTICE: The lot will be carefully packaged and sent by Japan Post, DHL or FedEx depend on the situation. It takes about 3 weeks to receive normally. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Sometimes Customes or delivery company in your country contact you for Customs clearance via phone or email. Please make sure that you could answer the phone. If you don't, the parcel will return to me and it cost more double shipping fee for reshipping. I appreciate your cooperation.
