Store Extremely Rare Minolta MAC-TELE QD 35mm Film Camera with Strap, Retail Box, Leather Case, Manual, Extras, Japan
ミノルタ MAC-TELE の
The Minolta MAC-TELE QUARTZ DATE utilizes One 2CR5 Battery. (included) In excellent virtually unused shape cosmetically and mechanically, fully functional. The motorized units in these early Auto Focus Minoltas are wonderful little vintage cameras, and this one is sure not to disappoint and the Minolta 38 - 80 mm Dual Lens is a true pleasure to shoot with! We have installed a Brand store New 2025 Battery for the Data Back.
The Minolta AF-Tele Super (Europe) or Freedom Tele (America) or Mac-Tele (Japan) is a dual focal-length autofocus compact camera switchable from 38 mm f/2.8 normal lens to 80 mm f/5.6 portrait lens by push-button and usable with DX-coded 35mm film with film speed betwwen ISO 50 and ISO 3200. A motor drives the lens change by internal teleconverter, the according viewfinder adaption and even pops up the flash for the 80mm focal length. Otherwise the flash is inside the camera body, behind a light-straying glass for the shorter focal length. On top is a very small status LCD and a self-timer button. Automatic flash operation can be overridden by a force-flash button and a suppress flash button, both near the lens. It is a quite bulky compact camera since it was an early autofocus camera; measures are 136x76x55mm.
The camera construction was also base for the dual-focus Leica AF-C1. The Minolta camera was launched in 1988, the Leica model one year later.
This extremely rare find is also know as the Secret Leica (Leica AF-C1) and this is the even more rare Japan Version
