Minolta 110 Zoom SLR Mk 2
Minolta introduced this version in 1979. I procured it about a year after the Mk1 (same brilliant shop). This was a more conventional approach by Minolta and, as a consequence less pocketable. The zoom is 25 to 67 mm (50-135mm in full frame 35mm) f3.5 12 elements in 10 groups plus a built-in close-up element focusing down to 8 inches. Subminiature Photography magazine considered this lens to be one of the top ten performers in subminiature history. Aperture is fully variable with click stops at f3.5, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16 . Full-aperture TTL metering is centre-weighed with exposure compensation control. Aperture-priority automatic from EV 5.6 to EV 17 (at ASA 100) with control for up to +/- 2 EV continuous adjustment in 1 EV steps. Shutter speeds of B, 1/4 - 1/1000 second, mechanical 'X' (1/125 second) for flash. The viewfinder shows 85% of film frame area with a split image focusing spot centred in a matt field. Shutter speed is indicated by 5 LEDs, LED over-/under-range indicators and the LED at '125' also blinks as flash ready signal when Minolta X-series Auto Electroflashes are used.
Viewfinder eye piece has correction from -1.1 to +0.8 dioptre. The shutter release is threaded for a cable release and has a lock to prevent it being pressed accidentally.
The self timer, with LED indicator, gives a 10 second delay. It is shown here with the optional grip attached.
