The single lens reflex camera, the flower of film cameras!


Today, we would like to introduce a vintage film single lens reflex camera released in 1959 by Minolta from among the items on sale at our Vintage Shop Japan Inc.


What is a film SLR camera?

An SLR camera is a camera with a mechanism in which light is passed through a single lens to a mirror, which reflects the light back and is sensitized to film for recording.

Point of Appeal

This Minolta film SLR camera and lens was released in 1959. This camera was released 64 years ago. The exterior is so beautiful that it is hard to believe that this camera is more than half a century old.
The silver of the body material can be kept clean.

It is the type that does not have an exposure meter, so I hope you can use a commercially available one.


The lens is in the condition described, but I think you will enjoy shooting it.


We hope you’ll enjoy this vintage camera and all the wonderful vintage camera life it has to offer!


This time, we have introduced a vintage film single-lens reflex camera released in 1959 by Minolta from among the items on sale at our Vintage Shop Japan Inc.
