Minolta Riva Zoom 140ex 35mm Film Camera – Boxed – Tested

DESCRIPTION

Minolta Riva Zoom 140ex 35mm compact film camera in Excellent cosmetic condition, supplied boxed and fully tested. During testing the lens/lens‑cover mechanism was found to be occasionally temperamental, requiring a light nudge to complete its movement a couple of times. Autofocus, flash, zoom and film transport otherwise operate normally. A clean boxed example ideal for collectors or users comfortable with this minor operational quirk.
