Template:127 Japan The Baby Minolta was a 4x6.5 camera, made by Molta (later Minolta) around 1935. It was a simpler camera than the Minolta Vest released one year earlier. It had a bakelite body and a folding frame finder delimitating both the 4x6.5 and 3x4 formats. The lens was a fixfocus Coronar Anastigmat 80/8. The shutter was of the everset type, with 25-50-100-B speeds set on a dial. The shutter plate had decorative patterns, with at least two different types observed. It was marked BABY MINOLTA at the bottom and PATENTS PENDING at the top. There was sometimes a logo on the right (three letters M T S in a circle).
