Buying guide
Minolta's first 110 SLR (1976) has a built-in 25-50mm f/4.5 zoom with a 40.5mm filter thread and macro capability. It is aperture-priority only (the aperture ring is around the meter eye) and bulb works without batteries. A separate Mark II followed with a 25-67mm f/3.5 zoom. 110 film is scarce. Primarily collector interest today.
