Released in 1987, the Minolta AF-DL (also known as the Freedom Dual) was a clever response to the emerging demand for zoom cameras.Rather than a complex zoom, Minolta implemented a "Dual Lens" system that allows you to switch instantly between a wide 35mm and a tight 50mm focal length at the touch of a button. While it was a popular consumer choice in the late 80s, finding units today that are fully functional and mechanically sound is becoming a rarity. It is an ideal companion for the street photographer who wants the simplicity of a point-and-shoot with the creative flexibility of two classic focal lengths.

Excellent A well-maintained professional tool that shows light, honest signs of use. This includes minor cosmetic scuffs on the edges or a natural softening of the grip, but it remains aesthetically sharp and fully ready for daily work.

Camera + strap.
