Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 60 35mm camera (serial 38333695)
The Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 60 (also sold as the Freedom Family Zoom II or Riva Zoom AF5) is a simple, well-designed compact 35mm film camera featuring a very sharp 38-60mm lens (which owes its quality, in part, to its inclusion of an aspherical lens element).
This camera requires a CR123 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. In addition, we verified the camera's film plane focus accuracy on an autocollimator and its exposure accuracy using a shutter tester and calibrated light source. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos).
