Description from the seller
Minolta AL-F 35mm coupled-rangefinder camera with fixed Rokkor 38mm f/2.7 lens. Powers on; light meter and rangefinder confirmed working, film-chamber light seals freshly replaced.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Minolta AL-F is a compact 35mm coupled-rangefinder camera launched by Minolta in 1967. It pairs a sharp fixed Rokkor 38mm f/2.7 lens with a CdS-metered, shutter-priority automatic exposure system, giving quick point-and-shoot operation while retaining a bright coupled rangefinder for accurate focusing. The electronically controlled leaf shutter offers automatic exposure for everyday use, with a dedicated flash setting for fill-in work. Its modest size, capable lens and simple metering make it an approachable and characterful 1960s Japanese rangefinder for film shooters and collectors.
