Rare Minolta A-2 35mm Film Camera Original Leather Case & Strap
A 35mm rangefinder film camera fromMinolta Chiyoda Kogaku of Osaka, Japan.
*Please read the entire listing and ask questionsif you need more info.
The A2 is a ruggedly simple camerawith a fast Chiyoko Rokkor f/2.8 45mm lens.No built-in exposure meter - fully manualclassic from 1957.
- Original Minolta Leather Case - Leather Strap with extension
One-owner, smoke, and pet free home.
Almo...st fully functioning but not testedwith film recently. The Optiper MXV shuttersounds accurate from 1/400 to1/100 but it's sticky below that. This istypical with older shutters that haven'tbeen used much at the slower speeds.
Except for some dust specs the lensis clean and looks defect-free to me.The aperture blades look and work well.
The viewfinder is bright with only a fewspecs of dirt and dust visible inside.I see the rangefinder diamond bright spot andI get it to focus but only to a certain point.The camera can still be manuallyfocused using the distance scale.
The film advance lever works as it should withno binding. The speed adjustment dialalso operates smoothly. The aperture ringmoves smoothly. I did not test the camerawith flash and I did not test the self-timer.The film rewind is smooth.
The leather case still shows well.Little if any loss of finish and no significantcorrosion anywhere on the camera. Super clean too inside and out.
Please check out the detailed pictures of thecamera that you will receive. I can provideadditional pictures upon request.
I mail daily and super fast too.
