Today, I will continue to write a column about a discovery I made in the viewfinder of a film SLR camera.
We will refer to the products on sale at our vintage shop Japan Inc.
In this article, we will look at the differences in viewfinder shapes between old and new Minolta film SLR cameras.

This Minolta SR-1 is a film SLR camera released in 1959.
The viewfinder is round.
(Reference camera MINOLTA α3xi)
This reference camera was released in 1991.
A square viewfinder. It has a rubber guard around it.
In this issue, we compared Minolta film SLR cameras.
I found that viewfinders have changed considerably between the 1950s and the 1990s.
introduce it this time, it seems that Minolta’s SLR cameras were also changing from round to square in the 1970s and 1980s.
In the future, I will write a column when I discover differences in viewfinders for non-film SLR cameras.
Enjoy!
