About This Camera (From: https://vintagecameralab.com)
The Minolta Autopak 500 is a stylish viewfinder camera introduced in 1966 and designed for the 126 film cassette. Rebadged and sold as the Ilford Monarch in the United Kingdom and the Revue-matic 500 in Germany, the Autopak 500 pioneered an auto exposure system capable of automatically firing the flash in low light situations, a feature that has since become standard in all cameras.
Since the 500 is targeted at amateur photographers, there really aren’t any controls to speak of. A metal dial can be found on the user’s left-hand side of the camera which focuses the lens, a surprisingly high quality 38mm f/2.8 Rokkor which is surrounded by a square-shaped selenium cell which powers the camera’s automatic exposure system. An automatically rotating flash cube socket is located on the top of the camera near the viewfinder window and opposite the black rectangular shutter button. The metal film advance lever is on the back right above the film door which is opened via a latch on the user’s right side of the camera, just above the lone strap lug. The battery door on the bottom of the camera can be slid open to accept two AAA size batteries (not included).
Battery & Film are not included in this purchase. The items are in average good condition to very good condition. I have taken pictures of the cameras outside and of the inside of each camera. I have no film to test the quality of the pictures so I am listing these as untested, as-is condition.
