History and Presentation of the Device:
The Minolta AF-E2 is a compact 35mm format film camera with an autofocus function, making it particularly user-friendly for photography enthusiasts. It was manufactured starting in 1987, reflecting the changing technology of the time.
The AF-E2 is visually similar to the AF-DL, and it can be easily confused with the latter. However, there are a few subtle differences that justify its existence in Minolta's line of devices. One of the most notable aspects of the AF-E2 is that it is not a dual focal length camera, meaning that it offers simplified use by eliminating the need to switch between different focal lengths. Additionally, it can be powered in two ways: with one 6-volt lithium battery (BR-P2) or four AAA batteries, available worldwide. This versatility when it comes to power is an asset for travelers.
The AF-E2 is a real “button press”. Its use is extremely simple: just press the trigger button, and the device takes care of the rest. Autofocus allows you to capture sharp images in all circumstances, even in complete darkness. You can concentrate on composing your photos while the AF-E2 takes care of technical adjustments.
