Chronology of cameras Minolta
Traduction de PYP
Model F replaces Model E, and those cameras are virtually all the same! Model F was originally targeted at the Japanese market, few of these cameras have been exported. Except from this particular point, the only difference between model E and model F is the self-timer: 3 positions (1, 2 and 3) whereas there were only two positions on model E.
Hopefully, Minolta started to engrave the version of the camera on Minolta 35s starting with model E (it’s never too late!), it’s therefore very simple to tell these twins apart!
