Camera Model: Minolta Weathermatic A
Serial#1978276
The Minolta Weathermatic A is a rugged, eye-catching 110 pocket film camera designed to handle the elements with style. Released in 1980, this iconic underwater and all-weather camera features an unmistakable bright yellow housing and oversized, tactile controls originally built to be easily operated by divers wearing thick gloves. Built to float on water and survive depths of up to 5 meters, it is the ultimate retro companion for beach trips, ski slopes, or rainy-day street photography.
Equipped with a premium glass Rokkor 26mm f/3.5 lens, this pocket powerhouse avoids the low-quality plastic optics typical of the 110 format. Its mechanical simplicity makes it incredibly reliable—featuring a fixed 1/200s shutter speed and manual knobs to dial in your lightning conditions and zone focusing distances.
