Minolta AF Big Finder 35mm camera w/ case (serial 71820113)
The Minolta AF Big Finder (called the AF150BF in some countries) is a good quality and very beginner-friendly 35mm point-and-shoot camera. It features an autofocus 34mm f4.5 lens (3 elements in 3 groups).
Battery information
The camera requires two alkaline AA batteries (not included). Rechargeable batteries cannot be used with this camera. Minolta estimates the battery life to be 20 rolls of 24-exposure film per pair of batteries (assuming the flash fires 50% of the time).
Condition notes
The camera was tested with batteries and film installed and all functions are working correctly (the film was not developed). We also verified both the auto-focus and auto-exposure are working well. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos).
