The Minolta AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens (S/N: 52922556) is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches.

Specialist Note "The 404si is one of the most approachable SLRs Minolta ever produced. What I love about this S/N: 92103641 is how balanced it feels; the 28-80mm lens is incredibly light, making it a dream for long walks in the city. It’s a very quiet camera, which is a massive plus for candid shots. The exposure system is remarkably clever for a mid-range body, handling tricky backlighting much better than most cameras in its class. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that makes shooting film feel easy and professional."
