The Minolta lens mount has been largely fixed since 1958 when the first commercial lenses were produced. If you’re happy with full manual controls, then Minolta cameras manufactured in the late 70s to mid 80s are probably around the peak of Minolta’s performance. If you are looking for a camera that handles much more like a digital camera, then don’t look any earlier than a camera from the 90s with Minolta. Most of the cameras in this article fall into this category of using some electronic components, but still with many manual-only features when compared to modern cameras. From the middle of the 20th Century, electronic components have been gradually added to cameras, first with a light meter, then adding various shooting modes and features like auto-film rewinding. Of course the first cameras were fully mechanical, not using batteries and where you have to set aperture and shutter speed yourself. If you are used to digital cameras, then you will be familiar with the idea that the camera can calculate exposure, lock focus and change pretty much all of the settings dependent on its own integrated microprocessor and the reading it takes from the light meter.
