Data

The Minolta 110 Zoom SLR Mark II is a single-lens reflex camera , it measures around 120 × 78 × 105 millimeters and weighs around 500 grams. The permanently mounted Zoom Rokkor Macro lens has a zoom range of 25 to 67 mm with an f-number of 3.5 and consists of 12 elements in 10 groups. The automatic exposure processes times between 1/4 and 1/1000 of a second, there is also a manual setting with 1/125 second exposure time and an option for long exposures . The viewfinder is a pentaprism viewfinder with a split image indicator and an exposure display. The camera has a hot shoe installed on the top for flash synchronization .

As an accessory for the camera, Minolta offered a screw-on handle, which, however, had no technical function, but merely served for better handling. Accessory parts of the "normal" Minolta single lens reflex cameras can be mounted on the viewfinder, since the frame is identical.

history

After Kodak had introduced the pocket film in 1972 and was thus able to continue the success story of its Instamatic system, Minolta launched the Minolta 110 Zoom SLR in 1976 , the world's first reflex camera to use pocket film. The most striking feature of this camera was its futuristic design. Pentax published in 1978 with the Pentax Auto 110 as a second manufacturer an SLR for the Pocket film, whose design was inspired by "classic" SLR. In the course of this, Minolta revised the 110 Zoom SLR and presented the Minolta 110 Zoom SLR Mark II in 1979 , in which the futuristic design was discarded. The Mark II got the look of a typical SLR camera, it was only correspondingly smaller.
