Minolta AF-E2 35mm film camera
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.

Why do analog photography in 2024 ?
That's true... Why do you want to do film in 2024 in the digital age?
Film offers a unique and timeless aesthetic that digital cannot reproduce. The grains of the film, the colors and the contrasts create a depth and texture particular to film photos.
Film photography allows you to physically hold your photos and negatives, providing a more tactile and memorable experience. Each photo becomes a unique object that you can keep and cherish.
Shooting on film encourages you to think and plan each shot carefully. This develops your photography skills and teaches you to be more attentive to details.
Using a film camera connects you to a long tradition of photography. You're using technology that has captured historic moments and been practiced by generations of photographers before you.
With film, you focus on the present moment without being distracted by the screen and digital settings. This allows you to better appreciate and capture the essence of each moment.
