The film chamber opening is located on the side of the body.

The part that opens the film chamber is mounted vertically.
Turn the top knob up to open the film chamber.

The body of the lid is designed to make it easy to insert the film in the body section, and thus has a large area to receive the film.

This time, we introduced the film chamber opening and closing area of minolta’s lens shutter rangefinder film compact camera released in 1966.
The design of this camera shows the ingenuity to make it easy to install the film.
The design of the opening knob is also very cool, using the design of SLR cameras!
