Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 35mm camera
The Minolta Freedom Action Zoom (also sold as the Riva Zoom Pica) is a rugged and compact 35mm film camera with a 38-60mm lens. This camera delivers very good image quality for its class.
This camera requires a CR123 lithium battery (available as an option).
Condition notes
The camera's functions were tested with batteries and a roll of film (the film was not developed). All modes are working correctly. The camera is in good aesthetic condition (see photos) with some minor wear on the body. The included case is also in good condition but its Velcro is a bit worn so the flap doesn't close very tightly.
