What is minolta al-f?

The Minolta AL-F is a 35mm fixed lens rangefinder camera, introduced in 1964 by Minolta Camera Co., Ltd. The AL-F model was an upgrade to the earlier Minolta AL model, featuring improvements such as a brighter viewfinder and a faster lens. The camera has a fixed 38mm f/2.8 Rokkor lens and a Copal-SV shutter, with speeds ranging from 1/30 to 1/500 seconds, plus Bulb mode. The AL-F also features a coupled rangefinder, a light meter, and a built-in selenium meter cell. It has a compact design and a metal body with a black leatherette covering. The camera was well-received for its ease of use, reliable performance, and quality optics. It was discontinued in 1966, but remains a popular choice among collectors and film photographers today.
