AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A vintage Minolta Konan-Flicker folding camera equipped with a 75mm f/3.5 lens, representing an interesting example of mid-century Japanese camera manufacturing.

The camera retains its classic folding construction and original appearance, making it an attractive collectible for camera enthusiasts and collectors of vintage photographic equipment.

The winding and shutter mechanisms have been tested and respond; however, due to age and condition, the camera is being sold as a collectible item requiring inspection, maintenance, or restoration before practical use. The lens exhibits fungus and haze, the finder is cloudy, and the light-sealing materials have deteriorated. Cosmetic wear, rust, scratches, and stains are present from age and long-term storage.

A desirable display piece and restoration project for collectors of classic Minolta cameras.
