Minolta Freedom AF Big Finder 35mm camera (serial 73906038)
The Minolta Freedom AF Big Finder (called the AF150BF in some countries) is a very user-friendly 35mm point-and-shoot camera. It features an autofocus 34mm f4.5 lens (3 elements in 3 groups).
The camera requires two AA batteries (not included).
Condition notes
The camera was tested with batteries and film installed and all functions are working correctly (the film was not developed however). We verified the camera's film plane focus and autoexposure accuracy. The camera has significant cosmetic wear (see photos) but this doesn't affect its functionality. There was also some minor tarnish on one of the battery contacts which didn't affect functionality in our tests (but we cleaned it and coated with Caig DeOxit Gold as a precaution).
