Product Overview:

The Minolta Hi-Matic AF2 is one of the most beloved autofocus compact cameras of the early 1980s. Featuring a sharp 38mm f/2.8 lens, simple operation, and dependable autofocus performance, it offers an ideal balance between image quality and ease of use.

Unlike many later plastic point-and-shoots, the AF2 was built during an era when manufacturers prioritized lens quality, giving it a reputation for producing surprisingly sharp images with beautiful vintage character. Its bright f/2.8 aperture also provides stronger low-light performance than many compact cameras that followed.

• Fixed 38mm f/2.8 lens

• Reliable autofocus system

• Bright f/2.8 aperture for low-light shooting

• Built-in flash
