Released in 1984, it represents that wonderful era when camera companies were experimenting with futuristic consumer tech, and the 'Talkman' voice function is an absolute joy to experience in person. Beyond the fun audio novelty, this camera is a very capable photographic tool. The 38mm f\/2.8 prime lens is an exceptional optical performer, utilizing high-grade Minolta glass that delivers the same beautiful saturation and sharpness found in their premium SLR lenses. This specific unit is missing its front sliding lens hatch, which is a common cosmetic issue for this model over the decades, but mechanically and electronically it works flawlessly—including the iconic voice box. If you are looking for a highly unique, reliable, and charismatic 35mm point-and-shoot that guarantees a smile every time you look through the viewfinder, this Minolta is an outstanding choice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMinolta Auto Focus V\u003c\/b\u003e 35mm Compact Camera Body (S\/N: 3243553)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eIntegrated Fixed \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"17\"\u003eMinolta 38mm f\/2.8\u003c\/b\u003e Prime Lens\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eMinolta\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eAuto Focus V (\"Talkman\" \/ AF-V)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Compact Film Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 35mm Roll Film (Standard 135 Format)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eLens Configuration: Minolta 38mm f\/2.8 (4 elements in 3 groups)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eFocus System: Active Infrared Autofocus (Focus lock capability via shutter half-press)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eExposure System: Fully Automated Programmed EE (EV 6 to EV 17)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
